Bone Marrow Transplantation
what is a bone marrow transplant?
Bone marrow transplant (BMT) is a
special therapy for patients with
certain cancers or other diseases. A
bone marrow transplant involves
taking cells that are normally found in
the bone marrow (stem cells),
filtering those cells, and giving them
back either to the donor (patient) or
to another person. The goal of BMT is
to transfuse healthy bone marrow
cells into a person after their own
unhealthy bone marrow has been
treated to kill the abnormal cells.

2. Bone marrow transplant has been used successfully to treat diseases such as
leukemias, lymphomas, aplastic anemia, immune deficiency disorders, and
some solid tumor cancers since 1968.
What is bone marrow?
Bone marrow is the soft, spongy tissue found inside bones. It is the medium
for development and storage of most of the body's blood cells.
The blood cells that produce other blood cells are called stem cells. The most
primitive of the stem cells is called the pluripotent stem cell, which is
different than other blood cells with regards to the following properties:
• Renewal. It is able to reproduce another cell identical to itself.
• Differentiation. It is able to generate one or more subsets of more mature
cells.
It is the stem cells that are needed in bone marrow transplant.
Why is a bone marrow transplant needed?
The goal of a bone marrow transplant is to cure many diseases and types of
cancer. When the doses of chemotherapy or radiation needed to cure a
cancer are so high that a person's bone marrow stem cells will be
permanently damaged or destroyed by the treatment, a bone marrow
transplant may be needed. Bone marrow transplants may also be needed if
the bone marrow has been destroyed by a disease.
A bone marrow transplant can be used to:
• Replace diseased, nonfunctioning bone marrow with healthy functioning
bone marrow (for conditions such as leukemia, aplastic anemia, and sickle
cell anemia).

3. • Regenerate a new immune system that will fight existing or residual
leukemia or other cancers not killed by the chemotherapy or radiation used
in the transplant.
• Replace the bone marrow and restore its normal function after high doses
of chemotherapy and/or radiation are given to treat a malignancy. This
process is often called rescue (for diseases, such as lymphoma and
neuroblastoma).
• Replace bone marrow with genetically healthy functioning bone marrow to
prevent further damage from a genetic disease process (such as Hurler's
syndrome and adrenoleukodystrophy).
The risks and benefits must be weighed in a thorough discussion with your
doctor and specialists in bone marrow transplants prior to procedure.
What are some diseases that may benefit from bone marrow transplant?
The following diseases are the ones that most commonly benefit from bone
marrow transplant:
• Leukemias
• Severe aplastic anemia
• Lymphomas
• Multiple myeloma
• Immune deficiency disorders
What are the different types of bone marrow transplants?
There are different types of bone marrow transplants depending on who the
donor is. The different types of BMT include the following:
• Autologous bone marrow transplant. The donor is the patient himself or
herself. Stem cells are taken from the patient either by bone marrow harvest
or apheresis (a process of collecting peripheral blood stem cells), frozen, and
then given back to the patient after intensive treatment. Often the term
rescue is used instead of transplant.
• Allogeneic bone marrow transplant. The donor shares the same genetic
type as the patient. Stem cells are taken either by bone marrow harvest or
apheresis from a genetically-matched donor, usually a brother or sister.
Other donors for allogeneic bone marrow transplants may include the
following:
o A parent. A haploid-identical match is when the donor is a parent and the
genetic match is at least half identical to the recipient. These transplants are

4. rare.
o Unrelated bone marrow transplants (UBMT or MUD for matched unrelated
donor). The genetically matched marrow or stem cells are from an unrelated
donor. Unrelated donors are found through national bone marrow registries.
• Umbilical cord blood transplant. Stem cells are taken from an umbilical
cord immediately after delivery of an infant. These stem cells reproduce into
mature, functioning blood cells quicker and more effectively than do stem
cells taken from the bone marrow of another child or adult. The stem cells
are tested, typed, counted, and frozen until they are needed for a
transplant.
Expected Results from Bone Marrow Transplant
Treatment outcomes after one Marrow Transplant have improved in years. It
is a life saving procedure and a successful transplant helps save the life of a
person which was otherwise not possible
Recovery after Bone Marrow Transplant
Recovery after Bone Marrow Transplant is a long process and physically and
emotionally stressful for the patient and the family. First 100 days are
critical, when the chances of complications or rejections are high, patient is
carefully monitored.
As the blood count begins to grow up and the immune system becomes
stronger, although it would be weaker than normal people, the patient
begins to feel better. Most people feel tired, weak and inability to
concentrate for a few weeks after the surgery.
Full recovery of the immune system may take up to one to two years.
Time & Cost
You would need a total of 16-18 weeks in India for a Bone Marrow transplant
operation and recovery before you can go back to your country.
The cost of bone marrow transplant in India starts from around INR
2,400,000 (approx. USD 40,000) and varies depending on the facility
where you choose to get the procedure done.
