how would a bone marrow transplant help treat treat lymphocytic lymphoma
Homework Answers
Lymphocytic lymphoma is actually a blood cancer which starts in the Bone Marrow. Bone marrow transplant replaces the unhealthy blood stem cell with a healthy blood stem cell.
This treatment is of two types.
1. Autologous
2. Allogenic
Autologous transplant uses high doses of chemotherapy to destroy the blood cells. The disadvantage here is it also destroys even the healthy blood cells.
Allogenic transplant gets healthy blood cells from the donor bone marrow automatically.

Fifty patients with leukemia received a bone marrow transplant with marrow from a sibling. Some of these patients died or relapsed and some were alive without relapse at the end of the study Interest is in the probabilty of being alive without relapse after a year. In particular, interest is in whether there is significant evidence that this probability is less than the corresponding probability for individuals who had their own bone marrow reinfused. Past data indicates that the latter...

The hormone Erythropoietin (EPO) is produced in the kidneys. EPO triggers the bone marrow to overproduce red blood cells which result in boosting oxygen supply. EPO is legally used to treat anemia and some athletes use EPO, illegally, to improve their performance, a practice called "blood doping". Use what you know about the process of glucose metabolism to explain how EPO can be used in enhance performance in athletes. Then discuss if you support the practice of blood doping, use...

Practice Questions 61 15. A patient had a bone marrow transplant and numerous blood transfusions during the course of treatment for cancer. A bone marrow biopsy performed to monitor for recurrence a few weeks after treatment ended, showed abundant hemo siderin within macrophages. In this case, hemo- siderin accumulation is not likely due to A. deposition of immunoglobulin light chains produced by the patient's cancer. B. brown atrophy. C. excess dietary lipid. D. iron overload from blood transfusions. 16. Which...
