Haploidentical transplant uses stem cells from a half-matched family donor, such as a parent, child, or sibling, making transplant accessible to patients who lack a fully matched donor. Advances in transplant technique have made haploidentical transplant a safe and effective option, significantly expanding the pool of potential donors for patients in need.
Haploidentical transplant is considered when a patient needs a stem cell transplant but does not have a fully matched related or unrelated donor available, offering a timely treatment option using a readily available family donor.
