Hematopoietic Cell Transplant: Review for Primary Care Providers
Hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) is a potentially curative treatment for hematologic malignancies, autoimmune disorders, and blood dyscrasias.1 Hematopoietic stem cells can be collected from and administered to the same patient, known as autologous HCT, or collected from a donor and administered to a patient, known as allogeneic HCT.
