Bone Marrow Transplantation
There are three types of bone marrow transplant procedure. One of the three is called an Autologous bone marrow transplant. With an Autologous bone marrow procedure, doctors take the persons own bone marrow and freeze it before chemo then reintroduce the marrow into red blood cells after chemo or radiation. The second type is Allogeneic. In an Allogeneic marrow procedure the marrow is taken from a matching marrow donor. The third type is called Umbilical cord blood transplant. With an umbilical cord blood transplant, there can be a wider variety of donor as the cells are still considered immature.
If it's a blood donor, you don't need to. BMBP'S REPLY-I accept but we are talking about bone marrow transplantation
Bone marrow transplantation is being tested as a treatment option when lymphomas do not respond to conventional therapy, or when the patient has had a relapse or suffers from recurrent lymphomas.
Noncancerous diseases for which bone marrow transplantation can be a treatment option include aplastic anemia, sickle cell disease, thalassemia, and severe immunodeficiency.

Bone marrow transplants involve replacing damaged bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. This can be used to help many stem cell related illnesses, sometimes including cancer.
Autologous = own marrow Allogeneic = transplant from a related (or tissue matched) donor. Syngeneic = transplant from an identical twin.
