Abstract
To provide a comprehensive review about types of HSCT, methods of collection of stem cells, indications for HSCT, complications of HSCT, and survival data with emphasis on current research with particular reference to pediatrics. Blood and the system that forms it, known as the hematopoietic system, consist of many cell types with specialized functions. Red blood cells (erythrocytes), Platelets (derived from megakaryocytes), Granulocytes (neutrophils, basophils and eosinophils) and macrophages (collectively known as myeloid cells). The continued production cells depends directly on the presence of Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs), the ultimate, and only, source of all these cells.
