Autologous Stem Cell Transplant

An autologous stem cell transplant is a medical procedure using your own special cells that make healthy blood. First, these cells are collected and stored. Then, after you receive strong chemotherapy designed to remove as many cancer cells as possible, your stored cells are returned to your body. This helps your body start producing healthy blood cells again and supports your overall recovery, aiming to make your treatment more effective. This topic offers information on what to expect throughout this process and how it fits into your treatment plan.
