Blood cancer
Blood cancer occurs when stem cells in bone marrow make uncontrolled, abnormal blood cells. They keep your blood from fighting infections and slows excessive bleeding control. We have many treatments, such as chemo, radiation therapy and stem cell transplants.

Blood and marrow transplant (BMT)
For some patients, a blood and marrow transplant also known as stem cell transplant may be necessary for their condition. BMTs assist the body in making blood cells after intense chemotherapy or radiation therapy. These therapies are used to kill blood cancer cells, but they are not targeted. This means healthy cells are also destroyed in the process. A BMT can help replace those cells.
