Yes. Bone marrow stem cell transplantation has been a standard form of care for immune cell replacement since the late 1960s/early 1970s. Historically speaking, the first transplant occurred in 1958 to care for a radiation accident. To date, children with leukemia have been known to survive following stem cell transplant. One research study showed that children with leukemia receiving bone marrow stem cell transplantation had a 63% survival rate at 5 years following the transplant.
