Bone Marrow Transplant

An autologous bone marrow transplant is a medical procedure in which a patient’s own healthy stem cells are collected, stored, and then returned to the body after intensive treatment such as high-dose chemotherapy. This approach helps restore the bone marrow’s ability to produce healthy blood cells and supports recovery of the immune system. It is commonly used to treat conditions like multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and certain blood disorders. Using the patient’s own cells reduces the risk of rejection and complications, making the treatment safer and more effective.
