Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant
An allogeneic stem cell transplant involves the use of healthy blood stem cells from a donor to replace bone marrow that’s not producing enough healthy blood cells. The donor may be a family member, an acquaintance, or someone you don’t know.
Who Can Receive This Treatment?
An allogeneic stem cell transplant is an option for people with a variety of cancerous and non-cancerous diseases:
- Acute and Chronic Leukemia
- Aplastic anemia
- Hodgkin’s and Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
- Multiple Myeloma
- Myelodysplastic Syndromes
How it Works
An allogeneic stem cell transplant includes:
- Undergoing high doses of cancer treatment, called conditioning, to kill your cancer cells.
- Receiving an infusion of stem cells from a donor, where they will travel to your bone marrow and begin creating new blood cells.
- Remaining under close medical care to closely monitor you for potential complications.
