Bone Marrow Transplant Hospitals in India
* Cancer Hospitals in India have oncology units comprising surgical oncology, medical and radiation therapy as well as the crucial Bone Marrow Transplantation (BMT). The BMT (Bone Marrow Transplant) unit with high pressure hipa filters has helped achieve a very high success rate in the various types of transplantation.
* Beginning in early 1983, bone marrow transplantation (BMT) hospitals in India have undergone slow but steady growth. With about 50% disease-free survival in acute myeloid leukaemia and aplastic anaemia and 90% survival in thalassemia major, the results are encouraging. However, the outcome in chronic myeloid leukemia so far has been poor. ..
Definition of Bone Marrow
The bone marrow-the sponge-like tissue found in the center of certain bones-contains stem cells that are the precursors of white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. These blood cells are vital for normal body functions, such as oxygen transport, defense against infection and disease, and clotting. Blood cells have a limited lifespan..
Purpose of Bone Marrow
* A person's red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets may be destroyed or may be abnormal due to disease. Also, certain medical therapies, particularly chemotherapy or radiation treatment, may destroy a person's stem cells. The consequence to a person's health is severe. Under normal circumstances..
* A bone marrow transplant is used to rebuild the body's capacity to produce these blood cells and bring their numbers to normal levels. Illnesses that may be treated with a bone marrow transplant include both cancerous and noncancerous diseases. Cancerous diseases may or may not specifically involve blood cells...
Precautions of Bone Marrow Transplantation at Hospitals in India
Bone marrow transplants are not for everyone. Transplants are accompanied by a risk of infection, transplant rejection by the recipient's immune system, and other complications. The procedure has a lower success rate the greater the recipient's age...
Autologous and Allogeneic Transplants
Two important requirements for a bone marrow transplant are the donor and the recipient. Sometimes, the donor and the recipient may be the same person. This type of transplant is called an autologous transplant. It is typically used in cases in which a person's bone marrow is generally healthy but will be destroyed due to medical treatment for diseases such as breast cancer and Hodgkin's disease...
Haploidentical Allogeneic BMT for patients without donors
Haploidentical Allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplant offers an innovative option for patients who cannot be suitably matched with a family member, or who do not have an unrelated donor readily available for transplant. This technique makes it possible to use partially matched family members as donors. ..
Procedure In Bone Marrow Transplantation at Hospitals in India
The bone marrow extraction, or harvest, is the same whether for an autologous or allogeneic transplant. Harvesting is done under general anesthesia (i.e., the donor sleeps through the procedure), and discomfort is usually minimal afterwards...
