An autologous bone marrow transplant (or peripheral stem cell transplant) is a procedure for certain types of cancer that involves giving the patient high-dose chemotherapy to kill the cancer cells, followed by an infusion of stem cells that have been collected previously from the same patient. Unlike an allogeneic transplant, an autologous bone marrow transplant does not require finding a donor, as it uses cells from the patient's own body.
Patients receiving an autologous bone marrow transplant may be able to undergo the entire transplant process as an outpatient unless they develop a side effect that requires a short hospitalization, such as a fever. Patients will receive the same level of care as inpatients but are able to leave the center daily and stay in local lodging with their caregiver. Moffitt is the only transplant center in Florida offering outpatient transplants. We have performed more than 1,400 outpatient autologous bone marrow transplants since the outpatient transplant program began in 2013. Your transplant doctor will discuss whether outpatient transplantation is an option for you.
