Abstract
More than 60,000 hematopoietic cell transplantations (HCTs) are annually performed worldwide to treat a variety of malignant and nonmalignant conditions. Although HCT is complicated and risky, a majority of the HCT recipients are surviving for many years post-transplant. This article presents the basics of transplantation, HCT types/stem cell sources, mobilization and conditioning procedures, indications for HCT, conditioning regimens, engraftment, graft-versus-host-disease, and survivorship issues.
