About the Procedure

What is Stem Cell Therapy?

Stem Cell Therapy, most commonly performed as a Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT), replaces diseased or damaged bone marrow with healthy blood-forming stem cells. It is used to treat blood cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma, as well as certain genetic blood disorders and immune deficiencies. India offers internationally accredited transplant centres with experienced hematologists at a fraction of the cost of Western countries.

Who may be considered?

Stem Cell Therapy 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 stem cells, collected and stored before high-dose chemotherapy, then reinfused to restore bone marrow function.

3 approaches available for this procedure:

Autologous Stem Cell Transplant

Most Common

Uses the patient's own stem cells, collected and stored before high-dose chemotherapy, then reinfused to restore bone marrow function.

Comprehensive Investigations

Estimated cost: $500 - $1,200

CBC, bone marrow biopsy, PET-CT, echocardiogram, pulmonary function test, HLA typing, viral serology, liver and kidney function tests

Treatment / Procedure Estimate

Estimated cost in India: $15,000 - $25,000

Stay in India

Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~3 days
Hospitalisation: ~18-21 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~30 days recommended
Total stay: approx 4-5 weeks

Usually Included in Hospital Package

  • Stem cell harvesting and storage
  • Conditioning chemotherapy
  • Isolation room stay
  • Nursing and medical care
  • Post-transplant blood work

Usually Not Included

  • Donor search fees (not applicable here)
  • Long-term immunosuppressive medication
  • ICU care if complications arise
  • Travel and accommodation for attendants

Recovery and follow-up

Recovery involves an extended hospital stay in an isolation unit followed by weeks of close outpatient monitoring for infections and graft function, with full immune recovery often taking several months.

Risks

Potential risks include infection, graft rejection or graft-versus-host disease, bleeding, and organ toxicity from conditioning chemotherapy, requiring close specialist supervision.

Alternatives

Depending on the condition, alternatives may include chemotherapy alone, targeted or immunotherapy, or continued monitoring, though a transplant often offers the best chance of long-term remission for eligible patients.

Our methodology

How GAF Healthcare selects doctors

Doctors may be included when they meet relevant criteria for stem cell therapy. This is a transparent listing methodology, not a clinical recommendation or paid ranking:

01

Relevant specialty

hematology expertise is mapped from the doctor's listed specialty and profile information.

02

Procedure relevance

stem cell therapy is listed among the doctor's procedures or areas of expertise, using matching terms where appropriate.

03

Hospital affiliation

The doctor is currently affiliated with a recognised hospital in the GAF directory. Hospital details and availability can change, so confirm them before booking.

04

Professional experience

Experience is displayed from the doctor's available professional profile and is used as the ordering signal when the page lists doctors.

05

Data verification

Doctor and hospital information is checked against the records available to GAF and updated when new information is supplied. It is not a substitute for confirming credentials directly.

06

No paid ranking

Being featured does not automatically mean the doctor is ranked number one. GAF does not sell position on this page.

International-patient availability can differ by doctor and hospital. Contact the care team to confirm language support, appointment timing and whether the doctor can review your reports remotely.
Can I request a second opinion from a doctor on this page?
You can ask for a records review or second opinion through the enquiry form. The doctor must assess your reports and history before giving advice; this page is not a diagnosis.

Recovery depends on the approach, the reason for treatment and your health. Ask the treating hospital for a personalised hospital stay, follow-up and return-to-activity plan.
