Stem cell transplantation to treat certain types of cancer, such as cancers of the hematopoietic system (multiple myeloma, leukemia, lymphoma) carries a risk of some unusual health problems. Side effects after a stem cell transplant can appear soon after completing the transplant or appear late after a long time.

Stomach cancer is the cells of the stomach that grow out of control, forming tumors in the stomach, which can spread to surrounding and distant organs (distant metastases).

A stem cell transplant, also known as a marrow transplant, is the process of replacing one person's abnormal blood stem cells with healthy stem cells from another person (donor). Stem cells are injected intravenously, then travel through the bloodstream and find their way to the bone marrow, where they grow and make the blood cells needed by the body.

Blood cancer, also known as hematologic cancer, is a blood disease that can cause high mortality in patients. The disease occurs when there is a sudden increase in the number of white blood cells in the blood, which reduces the number of red blood cells, causing severe anemia.

Not all cancers can be cured with stem cells. This method only plays a role in the treatment of certain types of cancer (mainly cancer of the hematopoietic system). When treating these cancers, chemotherapy and radiation therapy not only kill cancer cells, but also inadvertently kill stem cells in the bone marrow. Therefore, patients need a combination of stem cell transplant, also known as marrow transplant, to help restore or create new healthy cells.

To date, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved eight immune checkpoint inhibitor therapies for the treatment of several cancers including lung, colorectal, and liver cancers. , breasts, and head and neck.

The immune system is considered as a barrier to protect the body from pathogens, especially in cancer. So taking advantage and stimulating the body's immune system is the key to controlling cancer

Immunotherapy is a type of biological therapy that boosts the immune system (made up of white blood cells and organs and tissues of the lymphatic system) to fight cancer.

Some types of cancer can be cured by stem cell transplantation, which is a great advance in world medicine. In Vietnam, the treatment of some types of cancer with stem cell therapy has now been conducted in many places.
