1. Stem cell transplants are used to treat people whose stem cells have been damaged by disease or treatment of a disease. (Web site)
2. Stem cell transplants are usually reserved for people with severe aplastic anemia and are most successful in children and young adults with matched donors. (Web site)
3. Stem cell transplants are not routinely performed for MDS because most people with MDS are older adults and thus ineligible for this form of treatment. (Web site)
4. Stem cell transplants are most often used in the treatment of 3 types of cancer: leukemia, myeloma, and lymphoma.
5. Stem cell transplants are not often used, but new techniques may allow this form of treatment to be more widely used. (Web site)

Treating Epilepsy

1. Preliminary research suggests that stem cell transplants also may prove beneficial for treating epilepsy.

Bone Marrow

1. Bone marrow or stem cell transplants can cure sickle cell anemia.
2. HLA “matching” plays a vital role in allogeneic, or unmatched, bone marrow and stem cell transplants.

Cure

1. In young people, bone marrow or stem cell transplants appear to improve the outlook, and may cure the disease. (Web site)

People

1. Doctors use stem cell transplants to treat people whose bone marrow can't make enough healthy blood cells.

Damaged Heart

1. Thus, stem cell transplants could be used to regenerate damaged heart tissue and help improve heart function.

Aplastic Anemia

1. Serious anemia, such as aplastic anemia, that results from the failure of bone marrow to make RBCs is sometimes treated with marrow or stem cell transplants. (Web site)
2. It is currently being used as a part of stem cell transplants, and is under study as a treatment for aplastic anemia.
3. Aplastic anemia is treated with blood transfusions, immunosuppressive drugs, or stem cell transplants. (Web site)

Blood

1. In blood stem cell transplants, blood stem cells are given to the patient after they are treated for the disease of the bone marrow. (Web site)
2. In this health video learn how blood stem cell transplants used to treat leukemia can be harsh.
3. Or more. Researchers measured the cognition of 92 surviving patients who had blood cancer treated by chemo as well as bone marrow or stem cell transplants.

Bone Marrow Donor

1. Stem cell transplants can cure aplastic anemia but require a matched bone marrow donor and are usually limited to people younger than 40 to 50. (Web site)

Marrow

1. Blood and marrow stem cell transplants may offer a cure for some people who have aplastic anemia.
2. Treatments for aplastic anemia include blood transfusions, blood and marrow stem cell transplants, and medicines.
3. Blood and marrow stem cell transplants may be used to treat these types of hemolytic anemia. (Web site)

Stem Cells

1. Stem cells from embryos are not used for marrow or blood stem cell transplants. (Web site)

Transplant

1. Blood and marrow stem cell transplants often cure aplastic anemia in people who are eligible for this type of transplant.
2. Blood and marrow stem cell transplants may cure the disorder in people who are eligible for a transplant. (Web site)

Autologous

1. The following are three types of transplants: Autologous Stem Cell Transplants - transplants that use stem cells from your own blood.
2. Two main types of stem cell transplants are autologous and allogenic. (Web site)

Allogeneic

1. The only known cure for patients with MDS is allogeneic stem cell transplants. (Web site)
2. Most stem cell transplants for leukemia are allogeneic, meaning the stem cells are donated by someone else. (Web site)
3. In general, autologous stem cell transplants are safer and simpler than allogeneic (donor) stem cell transplants.

Stem Cell Transplants

1. There are three types of stem cell transplants: autologous, allogeneic and syngeneic. (Web site)
2. However, stem cell transplants offer some people with chronic leukemia the chance for cure.
3. There are three different types of stem cell transplants: autologous, allogeneic, and syngeneic.
