• Surgical Procedure

  The risk of side effects of anesthesia during bone marrow donation is similar to that during other surgical procedures. Serious side effects of anesthesia are rare. [bloodcell.transplant.hrsa.gov]

  Bone Marrow Cleveland Clinic has performed these procedures since 1976. A bone marrow harvest is done as an outpatient surgical procedure, with the patient (donor) under general anesthesia. [my.clevelandclinic.org]

  It is not a surgical procedure to place the marrow into the bone, but is similar to receiving a blood transfusion. The stem cells find their way into the bone marrow and begin reproducing and growing new, healthy blood cells. [urmc.rochester.edu]

  The cells may be 'harvested" from the donor's bone marrow through a surgical procedure, or acquired from the donor's peripheral blood.* * The latter method of obtain stem cells has become more common. peripheral blood stem cell transplant, PBSCT The goal [lymphomation.org]

Why are BMT and PBSCT used in cancer treatment? One reason BMT and PBSCT are used in cancer treatment is to make it possible for patients to receive very high doses of chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. [cancer.gov]
