Hematopoietic
stem cell transplantation Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a medical procedure used to replace diseased or damaged bone marrow with healthy stem cells to treat diseases such as leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. This transplantation is a critical treatment for many patients with life-threatening blood and marrow diseases. The stem cells are harvested from a donor or from the patient, frozen, and then infused into the patient during the transplantation process. These transplanted stem cells help the patient's body create new, healthy blood cells, which can reduce the mortality rate of stem cell transplant-related diseases and improve the quality of life of patients. By using this procedure, many patients have been able to successfully live a healthy life after the transplant.
