At Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento, part of Sutter Cancer Centers, our stem cell transplant program offers treatment options for people with leukemia, multiple myeloma and lymphoma. Though stem cell transplants offer effective treatments for many conditions, you need to be aware that complications can occur. The two most common complications of stem cell transplants are those related to the blood and those related to other organs of the body. In addition, it is possible for the donor’s blood cells to conflict with your body, creating a condition called graft-versus-host disease.
