Question

On average, bone marrow accounts for about 4 percent of a person’s total body mass. If your patient weighs 200 pounds (90.7 kilograms), what mass of bone marrow will you need for a total replacement?

Answer 1

Answer:

Many people with blood cancers, such as leukemia and lymphoma, sickle cell anemia, and other life-threatening diseases, rely on bone marrow or cord blood transplants to survive.
