A team to help with planning, medical translation and follow-up.
About the Procedure
What is Autologous Bone Marrow Transplantation?
Autologous Bone Marrow Transplantation (also called Autologous Stem Cell Transplant) is a procedure in which a patient's own healthy blood-forming stem cells are collected, stored, and reinfused after high-dose chemotherapy has destroyed diseased bone marrow cells. It is most commonly used to treat lymphoma and multiple myeloma, allowing doctors to give intensive chemotherapy doses while enabling rapid recovery of blood counts and immune function. This approach avoids the need for a donor and reduces the risk of graft-versus-host disease.
Who may be considered?
Autologous Bone Marrow Transplantation 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?
Stem cells are mobilized from bone marrow into the bloodstream using growth factors, collected via apheresis, and reinfused after high-dose conditioning chemotherapy. This is the standard modern approach used in most Indian transplant centers for lymphoma.
2 approaches available for this procedure:
Autologous Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplant (PBSCT)
Most CommonStem cells are mobilized from bone marrow into the bloodstream using growth factors, collected via apheresis, and reinfused after high-dose conditioning chemotherapy. This is the standard modern approach used in most Indian transplant centers for lymphoma.
Comprehensive Investigations
Estimated cost: $800 - $2,000
CBC, kidney and liver function tests, HLA typing, PET-CT scan, bone marrow biopsy, ECG, echocardiogram, pulmonary function test, viral markers (HIV, Hepatitis B/C)
Treatment / Procedure Estimate
Estimated cost in India: $20,000 - $32,000
Stay in India
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~5-7 days
Hospitalisation: ~21-28 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~15-30 days recommended
Total stay: approx 35-45 days
Usually Included in Hospital Package
- Stem cell mobilization and apheresis collection
- High-dose conditioning chemotherapy
- Stem cell cryopreservation and reinfusion
- Isolation room/protective ward stay
- Daily transplant physician and nursing care
- Routine blood tests and supportive medications during admission
Usually Not Included
- Pre-transplant investigations and staging scans
- Blood/platelet transfusions beyond standard package
- Growth factor injections beyond protocol
- Post-discharge follow-up visits and long-term medications
- Airfare, visa, and accommodation for attendant
Recovery and follow-up
Patients typically remain in an isolation ward for 2-4 weeks until blood counts recover, followed by close outpatient monitoring for infections and organ function for 1-3 months; full immune recovery may take 6-12 months.
Risks
Key risks include infections due to low immunity, bleeding, mucositis, organ toxicity from high-dose chemotherapy, and rarely graft failure; these are closely monitored in specialized transplant units.
Alternatives
Alternatives depend on lymphoma type and response, and may include continued conventional chemotherapy regimens, targeted/immunotherapy (e.g., CAR-T cell therapy), radiation therapy, or allogeneic (donor) stem cell transplant in relapsed/refractory cases.
What we need to prepare a formal estimate
Share whatever you have — the care team will confirm the final checklist after reviewing your case.
Reports required
- Recent PET-CT or CT scan reports
- Bone marrow biopsy and aspiration report
- Complete blood count (CBC) and biochemistry panel
- Histopathology report confirming lymphoma type and stage
- HLA typing report (if available)
- Cardiac evaluation (ECG/Echocardiogram)
- Pulmonary function test report
- Previous chemotherapy/treatment summary
Patient information needed
- Current age, weight, and overall performance status
- Type and stage of lymphoma at diagnosis
- Details of prior chemotherapy or radiation cycles
- Response to previous treatment (remission status)
- Any comorbid conditions (diabetes, cardiac, renal issues)
- Current medications and allergies
- Availability of a caregiver/attendant for the stay
- Preferred hospital and consultation dates
Costs shown are indicative planning estimates based on typical pricing across leading Indian hospitals. They are not a quote — actual pricing depends on your case complexity, hospital choice, and length of stay. Share your reports for a personalized estimate.

Common questions
FAQs about Autologous Bone Marrow Transplantation in 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 Autologous Bone Marrow Transplantation considered for Lymphoma?
Autologous Bone Marrow Transplantation 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.
