How do you perform a bone marrow transplant?

A bone marrow transplant involves replacing damaged or diseased bone marrow with healthy bone marrow. The process typically involves harvesting healthy bone marrow from a donor, either through a needle in the hip bone or through a process called apheresis. The healthy bone marrow is then infused into the recipient's bloodstream, where it can travel to the bones and begin producing new, healthy blood cells. The transplant can help treat conditions such as leukemia, lymphoma, and other blood disorders.
