Allogeneic and autologous bone marrow transplant experiences in Hawaii.
Allogeneic bone marrow transplant (BMT) was first performed successfully at St. Francis Medical Center in 1978. Since that time, 91 BMTs have been performed for aplastic anemia, leukemia, lymphoma, and Stage II, III and IV breast cancers. This article will explain the methods, complications and results of BMT in Hawaii.
