Abstract
BMT is the treatment of disease with high-dose chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy accompanied with bone marrow rescue. An autologous BMT is performed with marrow acquired from the patient. The marrow is obtained from the bone marrow or from peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPCs), also known as stem cell transplants. Marrow purging of malignant cells and autologous BMT with only PBPC continues to be an area of active research.Entities:
