La greffe de cellules souches hématopoïétiques (GCSH) est utilisée pour traiter un certain nombre d'affections malignes et non malignes [...] La greffe permet d'administrer un traitement hautement myéloablatif de chimiothérapie avec ou sans radiothérapie (normalement létale pour la moelle osseuse), en vue de détruire les cellules tumorales sans se soucier de la toxicité hématologique qui sera contrebalancée par la transfusion de cellules souches hématopoïétiques.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Blood
CONT

The term hematopoiesis refers to the formation and development of the cells of the blood. In humans this process begins in the yolk sac in the first weeks of embryonic development. By the third month of gestation, stem cells migrate to the fetal liver and then to the spleen(between 3-7 mths these two organs play a major hempatopoietic role). Next, the bone marrow becomes the major hematopoietic organ and hematopoiesis ceases in the liver and spleen.
