| bone marrow purging | Techniques for the removal of subpopulations of cells (usually residual tumour cells) from the bone marrow ex vivo before it is infused. The purging is achieved by a variety of agents including pharmacologic agents, biophysical agents (laser photoirradiation or radioisotopes) and immunologic agents. Bone marrow purging is used in both autologous and allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bone marrow suppression | <oncology, pharmacology> A side effect of many anticancer and antiviral drugs, including AZT.

(09 Oct 1997) |
| bone marrow transplant | <procedure> A procedure in which a section of bone marrow is taken from one person and transplanted into another. It is used to replace bone marrow that has been damaged or diseased. It can be a treatment option in leukaemia. Acronym: BMT (16 Dec 1997) |
| bone marrow transplantation | <oncology, procedure> Treatment in which healthy bone marrow replaces bone marrow that has been affected by a disease or by treatment for a disease. Acronym: BMT (12 May 1997) |

| palatine bone | An irregularly shaped bone posterior to the maxilla, which enters into the formation of the nasal cavity, the orbit, and the hard palate; it articulates with the maxilla, inferior nasal concha, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones, the vomer and its fellow of the opposite side. Synonym: os palatinum. (05 Mar 2000) |
