How does bone marrow transplant cure leukemia?

A bone marrow transplant cures leukemia by replacing the diseased or damaged bone marrow with healthy stem cells, which can regenerate and produce normal blood cells. The transplant can be from a donor (allogeneic) or the patient’s own cells (autologous). This procedure helps restore the body's ability to produce healthy blood cells and rebuild the immune system, allowing it to effectively fight off any remaining leukemia cells. Ultimately, this can lead to remission and a potential cure for the patient.
