Stem cell (or bone marrow) transplants are used to treat different health conditions, including:

• Blood cancers: such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma
• Blood cell disorders: where blood cells don't develop or work normally
• Immune and autoimmune problems: where the body cannot fight infections, has problem regulating its reaction to infection, or attacks the body itself
• Metabolic disorders: where inherited conditions affect how the body develops and functions
• Bone marrow failure: when the marrow cannot make enough healthy blood cells

Every year, more than 20,000 stem cell transplants are performed in the United States.
