What Does HSCT Stand For?
HSCT stands for Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) is a medical procedure used to treat various hematological disorders, including leukemia, lymphoma, and certain genetic conditions. It involves the transplantation of stem cells that can develop into different types of blood cells, thereby restoring the body’s ability to produce healthy blood cells following intensive treatments like chemotherapy or radiation therapy. HSCT can be performed using stem cells obtained from the patient (autologous) or from a donor (allogeneic), depending on the patient's condition and needs.
