The transplant process involves several key steps:
Preparation: This includes finding a suitable donor and conducting thorough medical evaluations. Conditioning: The patient undergoes high-dose chemotherapy or radiation to destroy cancerous cells and suppress the immune system. Transplantation: The harvested stem cells are infused into the patient's bloodstream, where they travel to the bone marrow and begin to grow and produce healthy blood cells. Recovery: The patient is closely monitored for complications and to ensure the new cells are engrafting properly.
