Abstract

The quality of life after bone marrow transplantation (BMT) was studied in 109 adult allogeneic BMT recipients transplanted on at the Helsinki University Central hospital for a haematological malignancy.

During the first three years after BMT, physical well-being proved to be a highly significant (P < 0.001) factor for perceived life satisfaction. Moreover, physical well-being showed an average significant improvement after the first post-BMT year. The percentage of the recipients experiencing the highest levels of satisfaction with life increased from 51% during the first year after BMT to 81% for those pa...Continue Reading

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
