This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: stem cell and gene therapy treatments cancer, tumor directed-introduce suicide gene into tumor. Under investigation-brain, prostate, colorectal active immunotherapy- antitumor response, under investigation -malignant melanoma, Stem cell treatment Gene therapy Cancer types gene therapy, bone marrow-under general sedation, multiple punches peripheral blood- least s/e 2-4 hours umbilical-do not know if sufficient amt of stem cells for adults complications bacterial, viral & fungal infections are the #1 killer graft versus host disease (t cells from donated marrow attack host organs), Stem cell treatment Gene therapy Cancer types Hematopoietic Stem Cell transplant, Hematopoietic Stem Cell transplant TYPES allogenic- donors are matched synergeneic-identical twins autologous-self, gene therapy approaches tumor directed-introduce suicide gene into tumor. Under investigation-brain, prostate, colorectal, active immunotherapy- antitumor response, under investigation -malignant melanoma adoptive immunotherapy-genetically altered leukocytes and lymphocytes hunt tumor & kill it, ovarian, renal, brain, allogenic- donors are matched synergeneic-identical twins autologous-self sources bone marrow-under general sedation, multiple punches peripheral blood- least s/e 2-4 hours umbilical-do not know if sufficient amt of stem cells for adults
