Stem Cell Transplant for Multiple Myeloma Autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT): Before high-dose chemotherapy or radiation therapy, stem cells are harvested from the patient's bone marrow or blood, frozen and reinfused after the intensive treatment is complete. Allogeneic stem cell transplant: Stem cells are harvested from a matched donor.
