FYI: Three Types of BMT

• Allogeneic: Transplantation of bone marrow or blood cells from a person other than the patient. The donor is usually a close relative, such as parent or sibling of the patient.

• Autologous: Transplantation of patient's own bone marrow or blood cells taken before high-dose chemo- therapy or radiation.

• Syngeneic: Transplantation of bone marrow or blood cells taken from the identical twin of the patient. Syngeneic BMT is often the most effective type of BMT.
