When is Bone Marow Transplant Appropriate?

Dr. Shalini Shenoy, director of the bone marrow transplant program at St. Louis Children's Hospital, explains when to consider a bone marrow transplant to cure a non-malignant disorder. Shenoy has pioneered a reduced intensity conditioning model that has made transplantation less toxic to the patient, but still stresses the importance of weighing the risks and benefits of transplant to each individual patient. http://www.stlouischildrens.org/content/medservices/BoneMarrowTransplant...
