What is a bone marrow transplant (BMT) for children?
A Child bone marrow transplant (BMT) is a treatment for children with certain types of cancer or other diseases. The goal of BMT is to replace a child’s diseased bone marrow with healthy bone marrow.
A bone marrow transplant also called a stem cell transplant, is a treatment for some types of cancer like leukemia. Stem cells are filtered and then put back into the same child or another sick child. These stem cells will grow and become new and healthy bone marrow. Transplanted stem cells are called the graft.
