Conditioning Regimens

Conditioning regimens refer to a series of medical treatments designed to prepare a patient’s body, typically before a procedure like a stem cell transplant. These regimens often include chemotherapy or radiation to reduce or eliminate unhealthy cells, suppress the immune system, and create space in the bone marrow for new cells. The goal is to enhance the effectiveness of the transplant or therapy that follows. Essentially, conditioning helps ensure that the patient's body is ready to accept and benefit from new cells, improving the chances of a successful recovery or treatment outcome.
