[Transplantation of haematopoietic cells].
Autologous and allogeneic transplantations of haematopoietic cells form an important part of treatment of, particularly haematological, malignancies but have their place in the treatment of other diseases as well. Transplantation brings permanent remission in a number of patients. However, transplantation, and the allogeneic one in particular, is associated with a range of complications. The following review paper provides information on the types of transplants, their collection and processing, on the options for and ways to seek suitable donors of haematopoietic cells. Other sections of the paper focus on preparatory pre-transplantation regimens and complications that might occur after the transplantation. Finally, the paper reviews clinical uses of haematopoietic cell transplantations and provides a summary of diagnoses in which this treatment method can be applied.
