Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a treatment that transplants hematopoietic stem cells, the cells that give rise to white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. It was previously known as bone marrow transplantation, but the name changed once it became possible to collect these cells from peripheral blood as well. It is mainly used to treat blood-related malignancies, and both the treatment process and follow-up care afterward are important.2026-06-26
