What is Bone Marrow Transplant?
A Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT), also known as a stem cell transplant, replaces damaged or diseased bone marrow with healthy blood-forming stem cells. It is commonly performed for blood cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma and multiple myeloma, as well as certain non-cancerous conditions like aplastic anemia and thalassemia. The procedure allows the body to resume normal production of healthy blood cells after high-dose chemotherapy or radiation.
Who may be considered?
Bone Marrow 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?
Uses the patient's own previously collected and stored stem cells, which are reinfused after high-dose chemotherapy, commonly used for multiple myeloma and lymphoma.
Autologous Bone Marrow Transplant

Comprehensive Investigations

Risks
Potential risks include infection due to a weakened immune system, graft-versus-host disease (in allogeneic transplants), graft failure, organ toxicity from conditioning therapy, and bleeding complications.
