Description
stem cell transplant A procedure in which a patient receives healthy bloodforming
cells (stem cells) to replace their own that have been destroyed by
disease or by the radiation or high doses of anticancer drugs that are given as
part of the procedure. The healthy stem cells may come from the blood or bone
marrow of the patient, from a donor, or from the umbilical cord blood of a
newborn baby. A stem cell transplant may be autologous (using a patient’s own
stem cells that were collected and saved before treatment), allogeneic (using
stem cells donated by someone who is not an identical twin), or syngeneic
(using stem cells donated by an identical twin
