What is the Role of HSC Transplantation in Cancer Treatment?
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a critical treatment option for various blood cancers. There are two main types of HSCT: autologous and allogeneic. In autologous transplantation, a patientâs own HSCs are collected, treated, and reinfused after high-dose chemotherapy or radiation. In allogeneic transplantation, HSCs are obtained from a compatible donor. HSCT can help restore the bone marrow's ability to produce healthy blood cells and improve the chances of long-term remission.
