Bone Marrow and Cord Blood Donation and Transplantation

A bone marrow or cord blood transplant (also called a BMT) replaces a patient's diseased cells with healthy blood-forming cells so that the patient can live a longer, healthier life. The blood-forming cells (stem cells) used for transplant can come from the patient (autologous) or from a relative or unrelated donor (allogeneic). Learn about:

The cells used for transplants

Data about Bone Marrow and Cord Blood Transplantation

The SCTOD stores data about marrow and cord blood transplants and provides information for research to improve patient outcomes.
