How Marrow Transplants Replenish Bone Marrow
A donor’s marrow is drawn with a syringe and separated from blood. The extracted marrow is then injected into the patient’s veins. If successful, the new marrow travels through the bloodstream and repopulates the patient’s marrow.
Marrow Transplants Offer Hope Of Radiation Cure
American experts say up to 40 of 100 patients needing bone marrow transplants may be cured under ideal conditions. Success hinges on finding matched donors, ideally siblings, with unrelated matches possible in about 10 percent of cases. Some patients, if organ systems are too damaged, cannot benefit.
