The HSCT may occur by autologous transplantation, when Hematopoietic Progenitor Cells (HPC) are from the patient; allogeneic when HPC come from donors with compatible Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA), related when they are of the same family and not related if it is not from an inbred donor; or syngeneic transplantation, when HPC are from identical twins [3].…”
