Bone marrow transplantation.

Abstract

Since the 1970s major progress in bone marrow transplantation has resulted in long-term survival and even cure for many patients with serious hematologic disease. Many patients undergoing the procedure, however, experience serious complications, including graft rejection, graft-versus-host disease, and infection. Preventing or treating these complications with drugs or other forms of immunotherapy is effective in many, but not all, patients.
