title: Bone marrow transplantation. Part I--Allogeneic.
abstract: Major progress in experimental and clinical research has made allogeneic bone marrow transplantation a highly effective therapy for a variety of malignant and nonmalignant diseases. Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation from histocompatible donors is now the therapy of choice for some of these disorders. We review in part I the history, technical approach, complications, and the results achievable with this therapeutic approach. Further experimentation and future goals are also discussed.
