Rescue Treatment of Cancer  

What is rescue treatment of cancer?

Rescue treatment of cancer is therapy that "rescues" the immune system and the blood-forming cells in the bone marrow from the damaging side effects (such as the myelosuppressive side effects) of high-dose chemotherapy. Examples of rescue treatment of cancer are:

• Peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation
• Bone marrow transplantation (BMT)
