Bone Marrow Transplants

Bone marrow is a vital body material that can be killed by disease, radiation, or chemotherapy, and bone marrow transplants are used either when the patient’s own marrow has been removed to protect it during treatment or when another person’s marrow is introduced. Originally used for patients with leukemia, the treatment is now used for many other forms of cancer. This program from The Doctor Is In visits the renowned Cancer Center of the University of Washington Medical Center to see current trends in bone marrow transplants. A Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center production. (28 minutes)
