(NewsUSA) - Approximately every four minutes, one person in the U.S. is diagnosed with a blood cancer or disorder such as leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma or myelodysplastic syndromes.
Stem cell transplantation -- which replaces diseased or damage stems cells in the patient's bone marrow with healthy ones -- is commonly used to treat various forms of blood cancers and disorders and is one of the most important medical advances in the last 50 years.
It is important for people with blood cancers and disorders to be aware of the two major types of stem cell transplants -- autologous and allogeneic -- and to know which type of transplant may be right for them.
