autologous BMT


Explanation:
However another type of BMT, called an autologous (pronounced au-tol'-o-gous) BMT is actually much more common. In an autologous BMT the patient is both the donor and the recipient of the bone marrow. Some 5,000 autologous BMTs are performed each year, outpacing allogeneic and syngeneic BMTs two to one.

Some complications associated with allogeneic BMTs such as graft-versus-host disease are avoided with autologous BMTs. The risk of infection is also somewhat less in autologous BMTs because the large doses of immunosuppressive medications given to patients in allogeneic BMTs to prevent GVHD are not needed.
