Bone Marrow Transplants by Shaffer by Joseph S. Maresca (Bronxville, New York USA)

5 Stars
July 07, 2006
The author explains the complex bone marrow concepts in simple English. There is an American Bone Marrow Registry in order to facilitate transplant management. Allogenic transplant recipients are matched to specific donors. Syngeneric transplants involve identical twins . An autologous transplant utilizes the patient's own bone marrow during the transplant process. There are important considerations prior to going forward with the bone marrow transplant procedure: - Has cancer metastasized into the bone marrow itself? - Should anti-cancer treatments be performed first? - When should peripheral stem cell harvesting be done? This work sets forth important bone marrow transplant information in a readable form.
