Abstract

Stem cell harvest is a procedure that involves collecting the stem cells from either host for autologous stem cell transplant (SCT) or from the donor for allogeneic SCT. Harvest can be done either from bone marrow or from peripheral blood. Peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) collection may allow donors to avoid the risk of anesthesia (general or spinal), hospital admission, and potential exposure to blood products. Engraftment is earlier with PBSC graft compared to bone marrow graft. The procedure requires collaboration with anesthesiologists and blood bank physicians.
