Allogenic transplant recipients are matched to specific donors. Syngeneric transplants involve identical twins . An autologous transplant utilizes the patient’s own bone marrow during the transplant process. There are important considerations prior to going forward with the bone marrow transplant procedure:

- Has cancer metastasized into the bone marrow itself?

- Should anti-cancer treatments be performed first?

- When should peripheral stem cell harvesting be done?

This work sets forth important bone marrow transplant information

in a readable form.
