Description of mini transplant

http://www.seattlecca.org/newsletter...-03012007.cfm?


Mini means reduced chemo and/or reduced radiation which does not destroy the patient's bone marrow. Full transplants utilize total body irradiation with wipes out the immune system/bone marrow.

Hope this helps.
