AB Hematopoietic  stem  cell  transplantation  is  a  valuable  treatment  for  a  variety  of  hematologic  malignancies  and  a  few  nonhematologic  cancers  and  nonmalignant  conditions.  In  many  cases,  stem  cell  transplantation  offers  the  only  curative  option  and  can  be  a  life-saving  procedure.  Immune  effector  cell  (eg,  T-cell,  NK-cell)  transplantation  is  an  emerging  approach  in  hematologic  and  solid  malignancies  that  utilizes  immune  cells  genetically  engineered  to  recognize  cancer-specific  epitopes  and  incite  an  immune  response  against  cancer.  Autologous-derived  T-cell  therapies  targeting  CD19  are  FDA  approved  for  the  treatment  of  aggressive  lymphomas.
