	Pediatric Bone Marrow Transplant Overview
		Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is a potentially life-saving treatment for children with cancer, severe immunodeficiency diseases, aplastic anemia, inherited diseases of the bone marrow such as sickle cell anemia and thalassemia, and some metabolic diseases.
		Bone marrow transplantation may be utilized for leukemia (cancers of the marrow cells) as well as solid tumors such as lymphoma, neuroblastoma, medulloblastoma, and sarcoma.
		The purpose of the bone marrow transplant for these diseases is to provide healthy cells from the donor which travel to the various organs in the body and correct the chemical imbalance.

	Bone Marrow Transplant Information
		The bone marrow is extracted from the patient prior to transplant and may be "purged" to remove lingering malignant cells (if the disease has afflicted the bone marrow).
		The amount of bone marrow harvested depends on the size of the patient and the concentration of bone marrow cells in the donor's blood.
		As the patient waits for the transplanted bone marrow to migrate to the cavities of the large bones, set up housekeeping or "engraft," and begin producing normal blood cells, he or she will be very susceptible to infection and excessive bleeding.

	Bone Marrow Transplant - Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
		A bone marrow transplant involves taking cells that are normally found in the bone marrow (stem cells), filtering those cells, and giving them back either to the patient or to another person.
		When a child's bone marrow has been damaged or destroyed due to a disease or intense treatments of radiation or chemotherapy for cancer, a marrow transplant may be needed.
		Stem cells are taken either by bone marrow harvest or apheresis (peripheral blood stem cells) from a genetically-matched donor, usually a brother or sister.

		Bone marrow is taken from the donor in the operating room while the patient is unconscious and pain-free (under general anesthesia).

	About Bone Marrow Transplant Program \| Bone Marrow Transplant Program \| Norris Cotton Cancer Center
		Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) and peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) are procedures that restore stem cells that have been destroyed by high doses of chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy.
		After entering the bloodstream, the transplanted cells travel to the bone marrow, where they begin to produce new white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets in a process known as “engraftment.” Engraftment usually occurs within about 2 to 4 weeks after transplantation, and is monitored by checking blood counts on a frequent basis.
		Bone marrow aspiration (the removal of a small sample of bone marrow through a needle for examination under a microscope) can also help doctors determine how well the new marrow is working.

		An evaluation of the bone marrow may confirm this condition but it does not necessarily tell the doctor whether it is due to a bone marrow disorder, radiation, exposure to certain chemicals, some cancers, cancer treatment, or due to a tuberculosis infection.
