Autologous stem cell transplantation is the transplantation of a person' s own stem cells back into that same person, rather than stem cells sourced from a donor. The cells are removed from the patient, stored, and later given back to them, distinguishing the procedure from an allogeneic transplant drawn from a different donor.
