There are several types of blood and bone marrow transplants depending on who serves as the donor. The source of the hematopoietic (blood forming) cells further defines the type of transplant. The hematopoietic cells used for transplantation can be collected from the blood or the bone marrow. Hematopoietic cells, sometimes referred to as blood stem cells, are immature cells capable of dividing and developing into any type of mature blood cells.
Using donor cells to provide patients with new blood cells and a new immune system after cancer treatment.
Using an infusion of a patient's own cells to restore the body's ability to make healthy blood cells.
A specialized therapy to transfer healthy bone marrow cells into a patient after their own unhealthy bone marrow has been eliminated.
A method of replacing blood-forming cells destroyed by cancer treatment to help the bone marrow recover and continue to make healthy blood cells.
Traditional transplantation methods are being advanced at Stanford to help all of our patients. These modified approaches include autologous transplantation followed by a reduced intensity allogeneic transplant, the use of a haploidentical donor, graft selection techniques, cellular therapy, monoclonal antibodies and vaccinations, and new treatment approaches for many diseases, including our protocol for mycosis fungoides.
If you are considering a transplant, your Stanford Blood and Marrow Transplant Program doctor will discuss which options could be most beneficial to you.
