Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
In the stem cell therapy for cancer treatment, along with radiation therapy, very high doses of chemo are applied for the destruction of the cancer cells. The stem cells are also killed in the bone marrow. After its destruction, the stem cells are administered in replacement of the cells which were destroyed. These stem cells are administered intravenously. As time proceeds, the stem cells settle in the bone marrow and start the initiation of buildup of new healthy cells.
