• Globally, it is estimated that 120 000 corneal transplantations and 18 000 transplantations of allogeneic haematopoietic progenitor cells took place in the year 2000. (who.int)
  • Because of the patient's risk status, the physicians intended to perform allogeneic stem cell transplantation after induction and consolidation chemotherapy, which was scheduled to end in January 2013, and a conditioning chemotherapy regimen, which was planned to be given in March. (cdc.gov)
  • 1 This includes human cells for transplantation such as haematopoietic stem cells from bone marrow, peripheral blood or cord blood. (who.int)
  • Here, we report transmission of dengue virus to a peripheral blood stem cell recipient by a donor who had recently traveled to an area to which the virus is endemic. (cdc.gov)
  • The persistent and widening gap between patients' need for organs and the number available for transplantation has become a major concern to many Member States. (who.int)
  • Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has become a major treatment option for patients with hematopoietic malignancies and immune deficiencies. (cdc.gov)
  • Moreover, for patients who have kidney failure, access to transplantation is reduced when funds are spent on other forms of treatment that are less cost-effective. (who.int)
  • Even between countries which have similar levels of health resources, patients' access to transplantation also varies. (who.int)
  • The stem cells in autologous transplants come from the same person who will get the transplant, so the patient is their own donor. (cancer.org)
  • An advantage of an autologous stem cell transplant is that you're getting your own cells back. (cancer.org)
  • The current standard of care for patients with multiple myeloma (MM) is the use of drugs such as bortezomib, thalidomide and lenalidomide followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). (haematologica.org)
  • However, whether BMMSC and BMMNC from bone marrow have any difference of curative effect for the treatment of spastic CP remains unreported. (biomedcentral.com)
  • When you get your own stem cells back, you don't have to worry about them (called the engrafted cells or the "graft") being rejected by your body. (cancer.org)
  • In a typical stem cell transplant for cancer, a person first gets very high doses of chemo , sometimes along with radiation therapy , to try to kill all the cancer cells. (cancer.org)
  • After you get high doses of chemo and/or radiation as your myeloablative therapy, the stem cells are thawed and given back to you. (cancer.org)
