About Bone Marrow Transplant Donor

A bone marrow transplant donor procedure is a life-saving medical process where healthy blood-forming stem cells are collected from a compatible donor to be transplanted into a recipient whose bone marrow is diseased or damaged. This procedure is a cornerstone of treatment for various blood cancers, immune deficiencies, and genetic disorders. The donor's stem cells can be collected either from the bloodstream (peripheral blood stem cell collection) or directly from the hip bone (bone marrow harvest). The process involves careful donor screening, HLA matching, and a collection procedure performed under anesthesia or with medication to mobilize stem cells. Donating bone marrow is a significant act that offers a patient a chance at a cure and a renewed immune system.
