Different Types of Bone Marrow Transplant
1. Autologous Bone Marrow Transplant:
Auto means self. In this type of BMT, stem cells are used from your own body. Before starting cancer treatment, doctors remove stem cells from your blood or bone marrow.
2. Allogenic Bone Marrow Transplant:
Allo means “other.” Stem cells are collected from healthy donors. Brothers, sisters, parents, children, and relatives can be good matches. Special tests are performed to determine a good match.
Allogenic BMT is of 3 types:
-
Complete Matched Sibling Donor BMT: The donor is likely to be the patient's brother or sister.
-
Haplo-identical BMT: Parents are donors.
-
Unrelated Donor BMT: The donor is unrelated to the patient.
