Bone marrow transplant (hematopoietic stem cell transplantation) is a medical procedure performed to change bone marrow that has become nonfunctional caused by disease, infection, or chemotherapy with a new one. This procedure includes transplanting blood stem cells, which travel to the bone marrow where they produce new blood cells and promote the growth of new marrow. Healthy stem cells may come from a donor for bone marrow transplant or your own body.
