Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a standard therapeutic option in the treatment of patients with malignant hematologic diseases and some acquired or inherited nonmalignant hematologic disorders. It is the most efficacious method for eradication of acute leukemia, its efficacy being described by DFS (Disease Free Survival) and OS (Overall Survival), however, still associated with a high Transplant Related Mortality (TRM) rate. At Department of Hematology, University Department of Medicine, Zagreb University Hospital Center, bone marrow transplantation has been a standard procedure since 1983. Since that time, 281 patients with acute leukemia have undergone allotransplantation at our Department. Results are presented of 72 patients with acute myeloid leukemia transplanted at our Department during the 1993-2007 period.

Stem Cell Therapy for Tissue Regeneration

Stem cell therapy is a method used in regenerative medicine to repair and restore function to damaged tissues and organs. Stem cells have the potential to proliferate and differentiate into various tissue types, making them ideal candidates for tissue regeneration. For example, hematopoietic stem cell transplants are commonly used in blood cancer treatment to replenish damaged bone marrow and restore healthy blood cells.

Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants

Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure for several diseases, including cancer and specific genetic disorders. Notably, this procedure is applicable for patients suffering from aplastic anemia, certain types of leukemia, severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, thalassemia, sickle-cell disease, and certain cancers.
The transplant begins with high doses of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, which aim to destroy the...
