Bone marrow transplant (BMT) (health)


A procedure to replace a patient's diseased or treatment-damaged bone marrow with healthy marrow. The new marrow can be marrow that has been previously removed from the patient and stored until needed (autologous transplant); or marrow that is donated either from a genetically matched relative or unrelated donor (allogeneic transplant) or from the patient's genetically identical twin (syngeneic transplant).
