Autologous: (self-transplant) Stem cells are removed from the patient before chemotherapy/radiation conditioning, frozen and then infused.

Allogeneic: (donor transplant) Stem cells are collected from a relative (matched related), or other donor (matched unrelated), whose blood and tissue types match the patient's and infused following chemotherapy/radiation.

Umbilical Cord: In this procedure, stem cells are taken from the umbilical cord of a newborn as an alternative source when a donor match cannot be found.
