Why consider treatment in India?
Many international patients consider India for lymphoma treatment for several reasons, including:
More affordable estimates
Competitive indicative costs compared with many other countries, for similar clinical standards.
Internationally accredited hospitals
Hospitals experienced in treating international patients.
Experienced specialists
Doctors who regularly manage similar cases.
Care coordination support
A team to help with planning, medical translation and follow-up.
About the Procedure
What is Stem Cell Transplant?
A Stem Cell Transplant (Bone Marrow Transplant) replaces diseased or damaged bone marrow with healthy stem cells, allowing the body to produce normal blood cells again. It is a key curative or disease-controlling treatment for blood cancers such as Leukemia, Lymphoma, and Multiple Myeloma, especially after chemotherapy has reduced disease burden. India offers internationally accredited transplant units with experienced hemato-oncology teams at a fraction of Western costs.
Who may be considered?
Stem Cell Transplant may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.
How does it work?
The patient's own stem cells are collected, stored, and reinfused after high-dose chemotherapy, commonly used in Multiple Myeloma and certain Lymphomas.
3 approaches available for this procedure:
Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (Self-Donor)
Most PopularThe patient's own stem cells are collected, stored, and reinfused after high-dose chemotherapy, commonly used in Multiple Myeloma and certain Lymphomas.
Comprehensive Investigations
Estimated cost: $800 - $2,000
CBC, bone marrow biopsy, PET-CT, cardiac ECHO/ECG, pulmonary function test, HLA typing, viral screening (HIV, Hepatitis B/C), renal and liver function tests
Treatment / Procedure Estimate
Estimated cost in India: $18,000 - $30,000
Stay in India
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~5-7 days
Hospitalisation: ~18-21 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~30-45 days recommended
Total stay: approx 45-60 days
Usually Included in Hospital Package
- Stem cell collection & processing
- High-dose conditioning chemotherapy
- Transplant procedure & isolation room stay
- Daily monitoring by transplant team
- Standard medications during hospitalization
Usually Not Included
- International/domestic travel
- Visa and accommodation for attendant
- Post-discharge medications
- Long-term follow-up tests after discharge
- Treatment of unexpected complications
Recovery and follow-up
Patients typically require close monitoring for 60-90 days post-transplant with frequent blood counts, infection precautions, and gradual reintroduction of normal activity; full immune recovery may take 6-12 months.
Risks
Key risks include infection due to a suppressed immune system, graft failure or rejection, and Graft-versus-Host Disease (GVHD) in allogeneic transplants, all of which require specialized management by the transplant team.
Alternatives
Depending on disease type and stage, alternatives may include continued chemotherapy/immunotherapy regimens, targeted therapy, CAR-T cell therapy, or radiation therapy without proceeding to transplant.

Common questions
FAQs about Stem Cell Transplant in Delhi NCR, India
What is Lymphoma?
Lymphoma is a type of blood cancer that originates in lymphocytes, the immune cells that travel through the lymphatic system. It can arise in lymph nodes, the spleen, bone marrow, or virtually any organ, and encompasses a wide spectrum of subtypes ranging from slow-growing (indolent) to highly aggressive forms.
What are the symptoms and health risks of Lymphoma?
Common signs include painless swelling of lymph nodes in the neck, armpits, or groin; persistent fatigue; unexplained weight loss; drenching night sweats; and fever — a cluster sometimes referred to clinically as 'B symptoms.' Some people also experience shortness of breath, itching, or a feeling of fullness in the abdomen if the spleen or abdominal nodes are involved. These symptoms can overlap with many other conditions, and their presence alone is not sufficient to establish a diagnosis of lymphoma.
How is Lymphoma diagnosed?
Diagnosis typically begins with a clinical evaluation, blood tests (including a full blood count, LDH, and beta-2 microglobulin levels), and imaging such as CT or PET-CT scanning to assess the extent of disease. A biopsy of an affected lymph node or tissue — analysed with immunohistochemistry and, where indicated, molecular or genetic testing — is essential to confirm the specific lymphoma subtype. Staging (using systems such as the Ann Arbor or Lugano classification) and relevant prognostic indices (such as the International Prognostic Index for non-Hodgkin lymphoma) then guide treatment planning.
How is Lymphoma treated?
Treatment is highly individualised and depends on the lymphoma subtype, stage, patient age, overall health, and specific molecular features. Options range from active surveillance ('watch and wait') for certain slow-growing indolent lymphomas to chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation therapy, or combinations of these for more aggressive or advanced disease. In eligible patients with relapsed or refractory lymphoma, high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation — or, in selected cases, allogeneic transplantation — may offer the best chance of sustained remission.
Can Lymphoma be treated without a procedure?
The majority of lymphoma treatment is non-surgical. Indolent lymphomas that are asymptomatic and low-burden may be managed initially with active monitoring alone. When treatment is needed, chemotherapy regimens (such as R-CHOP for many B-cell lymphomas), monoclonal antibody immunotherapy, targeted small-molecule agents, and radiotherapy are the primary tools, and many patients achieve remission without any surgical intervention.
When is Stem Cell Transplant considered for Lymphoma?
Stem Cell Transplant may be considered only when it is appropriate for the confirmed diagnosis and the expected benefit outweighs the individual risks. The decision may depend on symptom severity, investigation results, previous treatment, overall health and the patient's goals. A specialist should discuss alternatives and recovery before any procedure is planned.
Which doctor treats Lymphoma?
Lymphoma is typically evaluated and managed by a medical oncologist or haematologist with specific expertise in lymphoid malignancies, often in close collaboration with a radiation oncologist when radiotherapy is part of the plan, and with a bone marrow transplant specialist if stem cell transplantation is being considered.
How do I choose a doctor for Lymphoma?
When selecting a care team, look for a specialist with documented experience in the specific lymphoma subtype relevant to your case, access to a multidisciplinary tumour board, and affiliation with a centre that offers the full range of therapies — including advanced options such as stem cell transplantation and clinical trials — along with structured long-term follow-up.
What documents do international patients need to share for a medical evaluation?
Share a concise medical summary, symptom timeline, previous diagnoses, investigation and imaging reports, procedure or biopsy reports where relevant, current medicines, allergies and related treatment records. Provide clear copies with translations when needed. The reviewing doctor may request additional information before giving an opinion.
How does GAF Healthcare help international patients plan treatment in India?
Our care coordination team can review the initial information, help identify suitable doctors and hospitals, request a medical opinion where available, explain next steps and indicative cost information, and support practical planning before travel. A remote opinion does not replace an in-person examination or emergency care.
