chemotherapy and possibly full body radiation."
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) requires eradication of
diseased or cancer cells. This is accomplished by administering higher-

relative such as a brother would not be a perfect match with human
leukocyte antigens; only identical twins are an exact match. HSCT is an
intensive procedure with adverse effects and possible death. HSCT
recipients can expect a 2- to 4-week hospitalization after the transplant.
