A stem cell (blood or marrow) transplant is the infusion, or injection, of
healthy stem cells into your body to replace damaged or diseased stem cells. A
stem cell transplant may be necessary if your bone marrow stops working and
doesn't produce enough healthy stem cells. A stem cell transplant also may be
performed if high-dose chemotherapy or radiation therapy is given in the
treatment of blood disorders such as leukemia, lymphoma or multiple myeloma. A
stem cell transplant can help your body make enough healthy white blood cells,
red blood cells or platelets, and reduce your risk of life-threatening
infections, anemia and bleeding.
Although the procedure to replenish your body's supply of healthy blood-forming cells is generally called a stem cell transplant, it's also known as a bone marrow transplant, peripheral blood stem cell transplant or an umbilical cord blood transplant, depending on the source of the stem cells. Stem cell transplants can use cells from your own body (autologous stem cell transplant), from a donor (allogeneic stem cell transplant) or from an identical twin (syngeneic transplant).

An autologous transplant uses the patient's own stem cells, collected in advance and returned to them after they receive high doses of chemotherapy. In an allogeneic transplant the stem cells are donated from another person, a genetically matched stem cell donor. While all transplants are serious procedures, allogeneic transplants are more complicated and therefore carry more short and long-term risks than autologous transplants.
The type of transplant you are given depends on a number of factors. These include the type of disease you have, your age, general health, the condition of your marrow and whether you would benefit by receiving donated stem cells, or whether your own stem cells can be used.
A stem cell transplant is not necessarily the best option for everyone. The transplant process is demanding both physically and emotionally, and some people may not be fit enough to tolerate it. Also, many people don't need a transplant and can be successfully treated using a less intensive approach. For others a transplant is the only option which offers a prospect of cure, or long term survival.

Types of Stem Cell Transplants
There are two main types of transplants – autologous and allogeneic.An autologous transplant uses the patient's own stem cells, collected in advance and returned to them after they receive high doses of chemotherapy. In an allogeneic transplant the stem cells are donated from another person, a genetically matched stem cell donor. While all transplants are serious procedures, allogeneic transplants are more complicated and therefore carry more short and long-term risks than autologous transplants.

Our strategy is to promote the recovery of neural function
with a close integration of Neuro-regenerative (stem cell),
Neuro-protective (medications) and Neuro
rehabilitative (physical/occupational/speech) therapies.
This therefore combines the best of Neurobiological
repair technologies and Neural restorative techniques. We recognize
that even small functional gains may have a significant effect on the
quality of life of our patients. Our treatment is individualized to
the specific requirements of each patient.
