Bone Marrow Transplantation (BMT), also known as Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT), is a medical procedure used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells.

The healthy stem cells can come from the patient (autologous transplant) or a donor (allogeneic transplant).
