What is a "bone marrow transplantation"?
A bone marrow transplantation is a medical procedure where healthy bone marrow cells, which are found inside bones and are responsible for producing blood cells, are transferred from one person to another. This procedure helps replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow, and is typically used to treat cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma, as well as certain blood disorders and immune system diseases. The goal is to restore the recipient's ability to produce normal blood cells and strengthen their immune system.
