Abstract

Bone marrow transplants are an effective treatment for many life-threatening diseases. Considerations for use include potential for cure, availability of a suitable donor, feasibility of using autologous stem cells, and risks of transplant-related mortality. Not addressed in this article, but also important, is consideration of the relative efficacy of conventional therapy in specific settings. The IBMTR and ABMTR offer a unique resource for examining the role of allogeneic and autologous transplants in cancer treatment.
