Bone Marrow Transplants - A Book of Basics for Patients

Posting Date: March 25, 1999
Last Modified: November 1, 2001

From Bone Marrow Transplants - A Book of Basics for Patients Reprinted by OncoLink with permission from BMT Newsletter. This version of the BMT Handbook was influenced by an earlier version by NYSERNet, Inc. through a grant funded by the New York State Science and Technology Foundation and is part of the Breast Cancer Information Clearinghouse. (Note: Because the Breast Cancer Information Clearinghouse provided web space for a variety of agencies which later formed their own websites, the BCIC opted to disband in early 1999. Their website is no longer available, though the informational resources they provided can be found elsewhere. 1999-03-25).
