FAQs

A bone marrow transplant is a medical procedure in which damaged or diseased bone marrow is replaced with healthy bone marrow to enable the production of healthy blood cells.

You might need a bone marrow transplant if you have certain conditions such as leukemia, lymphoma, other blood cancers, severe anemia, or immune system disorders that affect bone marrow function

The transplant process typically takes several weeks, including pre-transplant treatment, the transplant itself, and initial recovery. Full recovery may take months to a year depending on the patient's condition.

There are two main types of bone marrow transplants: autologous (using your own stem cells) and allogeneic (using stem cells from a donor). The choice depends on the condition being treated and the patient's health.
 

The recovery process involves a hospital stay for several weeks to monitor for complications like infections, graft-versus-host disease (in the case of allogeneic transplants), and blood cell production. Post-transplant, patients require follow-up care, medications, and regular monitoring.

Bone marrow transplants are generally safe but involve risks such as infection, bleeding, rejection, and complications from chemotherapy or radiation therapy. The procedure's safety depends on the patient's health, the type of transplant, and post-transplant care

You are a candidate for a bone marrow transplant if your doctor determines that your condition requires a transplant and that the potential benefits outweigh the risks. Your overall health, age, and type of disease will also be considered.

Yes, bone marrow transplants can be performed on children. They are commonly used to treat childhood cancers and other hematological conditions, though the process may vary slightly from that in adults.
 

Bone marrow transplants are used to treat various conditions, including leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma, severe aplastic anaemia, sickle cell disease, thalassemia, certain immune systems and other rare genetic or blood disorders.
