Abstract

Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) was developed more than 65 years ago to treat malignant blood disorders and irreversible bone marrow failures, with the aim of replacing a diseased hematopoietic system with a healthy one (allogeneic HCT). Decades later, the procedure was adapted to apply maximal chemotherapy or radiotherapy, which would result in bone marrow failure, but could be remedied by an infusion of a patient's own cryopreserved bone marrow (autologous HCT). Both treatments are high-risk and complex, especially during the initial phases. However, concerted efforts, vision, and collaboration between physicians and centers worldwide have resulted in HCT becoming a standard of care for many hematological disorders with progressive improvements in outcomes. Registries and the collaboration of societies worldwide have enabled the delivery of this curative therapy to many patients with fatal hematological diseases. More than 1.5 million HCT were performed between 1957 and 2019, and activity is continuously increasing worldwide.
