Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplant

A Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplant is a medical procedure where healthy stem cells are collected from a donor's bloodstream and then infused into a patient. These stem cells can develop into healthy blood cells, helping to restore the patient's immune system and blood production, often after treatments like chemotherapy or radiation that damage these systems. The process involves stimulating the donor to release stem cells into their blood, collecting them with a procedure similar to blood donation, and then infusing them into the patient to promote the growth of new, healthy blood cells.
