AB  - Hematopoietic  stem  cell  transplantation  (HSCT),  which  has  historically  been  referred  to  as  bone  marrow  transplantation  (BMT),  is  the  process  of  transfer  of  multipotent  hematopoietic  stem  cells  from  a  donor  to  a  recipient  for  various  indications.  These  cells  will  subsequently  proliferate  and  differentiate  to  form  the  hematopoietic  and  immune  system  in  the  recipient.  Over  the  last  50  years,  major  strides  have  been  made  in  the  field  of  HSCT,  and  currently,  transplant  is  performed  for  multiple  indications  using  a  variety  of  donor  sources.  Due  to  wider  utilization  of  this  treatment  worldwide  and  improvements  in  outcome  over  the  past  several  decades,  the  current  era  has  seen  an  increase  in  the  number  of  HSCTs  performed  both  for  malignant  as  well  as  nonmalignant  disorders.
