Bone Marrow Transplant

A bone marrow transplant is a procedure to replace damaged or diseased bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells.

Bone marrow is the soft, fatty tissue inside your breastbone (sternum) and pelvic bones. Your bone marrow produces blood cells. Stem cells in your bone marrow give rise to all of your different blood cells.

Your health care provider may recommend a bone marrow transplant if you have:

Certain cancers, such as leukemia, lymphoma, myelodysplasia, or multiple myeloma.
