How is the Process of Autologous Stem Cell Transplant Conducted?
The process begins with the collection of stem cells from the patient's blood or bone marrow. These cells are then preserved by freezing. The patient then undergoes a high-dose chemotherapy or radiation therapy to eliminate cancer cells. Afterward, the preserved stem cells are thawed and reinfused into the patient's bloodstream, allowing the bone marrow to regenerate and produce healthy blood cells.
