An autograft, also known as an autologous stem cell transplant, is a procedure in which hematopoietic stem cells are taken from the patient himself and reinjected after prior treatment.

An autograft is used in the treatment of certain types of lymphoma, in order to allow the administration of higher doses of chemotherapy or radiation therapy than would be possible with conventional treatments.
Immunotherapy is a treatment that aims to stimulate the body's immune defenses against cancer cells. Its effectiveness has been demonstrated in a large number of cancers, even if its tolerance is marked by a specific toxicity profile linked to the reactivation of the immune system.
Examples include checkpoint inhibitors (nivolumab, pembrolizumab) and CAR-T therapy, where the patient's T cells are genetically modified to better fight cancer.
