A bone marrow or blood cell transplant can save the lives of patients with leukemia and other blood diseases. Bone marrow generates new red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Red blood cells help carry oxygen, white blood cells help fight infection and platelets help blood to clot. A patient whose marrow is unable to perform these functions may look to a donor for a chance at survival.
