Bone Marrow Transplant Patient Information: Chapter 3 - What Are Stem Cells

Transplantation of bone marrow or stem cells offers hope and a chance for a cure for many patients. For patients diagnosed with lymphoma, multiple myeloma, acute or chronic leukemia, Hodgkin's or non-Hodgkin's disease, testicular cancer, myelodysplastic syndrome, or aplastic anemia, the Henry Ford Bone Marrow Stem Cell Transplant Program provides personalized care with patient outcomes equal to or better than the national rates.
Established in 1988, the nationally accredited Henry Ford Bone Marrow Stem Cell Transplant Program offers all three types of transplantation: autologous (patients receive their own cells), allogeneic (patients receive matching cells from a related or unrelated donor), and syngeneic (for identical twins only). We performed Michigan's first peripheral blood stem cell transplantation and regularly perform some of the most complex stem cell transplants in the country.
