Bone marrow is an important part of human life. It is a flexible tissue that is found in the hollow interior of bones. Bone marrow exists in two forms. There are red and yellow. Almost 100 percent of bone marrow at birth falls into the red bone marrow category. Red consists of myeloid tissue, red blood cells, platelets and white blood cells. Yellow consists of fat cells and some white blood cells can develop in yellow bone marrow. Both the red and yellow contain various capillaries and blood vessels.
One treatment for leukemia is a transplant. This can be done if a donor matches a leukemia patient. Once the bone marrow from the donor is inserted into the body of the patient, if the match is successful, the newly infused cells will help with the production of blood cells. A transplant is usually only used when the situation is extremely severe for a leukemia patient. Some leukemia cases can be treated with chemotherapy and radiation techniques.
