Allogeneic transplant - The healthy stem cells are collected from the family members of the patient who are a match for them. The diseased bone marrow of the patient is eliminated by chemotherapy and radiation therapy. This type of transplant is called an allogeneic transplant. $80,000 to $100,000 is the amount that this transplant will cost you.
