Abstract

Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) has evolved over the last 60 years from a pioneering treatment fraught with unknown factors and complications to a widely practiced standard of care that has saved the lives of countless individuals with malignant and non-malignant conditions. Over this period, transplanters in the UK have made a significant international contribution to the field through cutting edge clinical and laboratory research. Today, stem cell transplantation in the UK continues to advance through rigorous and innovative clinical trials which focus on improving outcome by reducing transplant toxicity and the risk of disease relapse. In this review, we start with a personal view of the early years of BMT in the UK, document the many seminal accomplishments in the field of BMT which took place in the UK, and end with a look towards the future of BMT, in the UK and worldwide.
