Advantages & Disadvantages of
Heamotopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation : A 15 page paper discussing transplants

the most aggressive form of cancer treatment and is often necessary following high dose
chemotherapy and radiation for the eradication of certain cancerous conditions. Such

production, along with their targeted cancers. Now used in treatment of other diseases as
well, the autologous bone marrow transplant in which the patient is his own donor is far
more common than is the allogeneic transplant in which another person donates bone marrow
to the patient. Increasingly, peripheral blood stem cell harvest and transplant is used
either in place of or in addition to the autologous bone marrow transplant, and the
pre-treatment patient may soon not be his only possible donor as the use of stem cells
harvested from umbilical cord blood is more heavily investigated. Bibliography lists 41
