Allogeneic Transplant

Using donor stem cells
Bone marrow transplants (BMT) and peripheral blood stem cell transplants (PBSCT) are procedures that restore stem cells destroyed by high doses of chemotherapy or radiation therapy. They help people regain strength as they recover or undergo further treatments.
Transplants using peripheral blood (the blood circulating throughout the body) and bone marrow can be either allogeneic, which is from a donor, or autologous, from the patient. They can be used to treat Hodgkin’s disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, acute and chronic leukemia, aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndromes and many other types of cancer.
When you come to UMGCCC for a blood or bone marrow transplant, you receive care from a skilled transplant team. Our services include:

We carefully evaluate each patient to ensure transplant is the best option. Doctors consider age, overall health, type of disease and disease stage. Your transplant team will thoroughly discuss all of the risks and benefits with you and your family.
The decision to use either bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cells for the transplant depends on the disease and the patient’s health, among other factors.
A PBSCT generally provides more stem cells than a bone marrow transplant. It does come with a higher risk of a complication called chronic graft versus host disease.
The transplant process is different depending on if you have a donor or use your own stem cells. Learn more about each procedure:
