Bone Marrow Transplant: Overview

Healthy marrow and blood cells are needed to live. Disease can affect the marrow's ability to function. When this happens, a bone marrow or cord blood transplant could be the best treatment option. For some diseases, transplant offers, the only potential cure but only about 25-30% patients have siblings who are eligible to be donors. We, at Artemis, are doing cord blood, unrelated donor and Haplo-identical (taking father or mother as donor) transplant, so that all the patients who need transplant can have a donor. A bone marrow or cord blood transplant replaces unhealthy blood-forming cells with healthy ones. Blood-forming cells are also called blood stem cells. Blood stem cells are immature cells that can grow into red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.

The hospital is successfully running a unique and highly acclaimed HSCT program for multiple sclerosis offered to patients across the globe.

The unit is backed up by the in-house world class Blood Centre, lab services including hematopathology/ microbiology and histopathology services, radiological dept, sophisticated intensive care unit/ critical care unit with advanced life saving equipments including Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and allied specialities like cardiology, neurology, gastroenterology, nephrology, surgical oncology , pulmonary medicine, radiation oncology, neurosurgery, cardiothoracic surgery and various other departments helping in the management of complex and very high risk diseases.

There are two types of transplant:

Autologous transplant – It uses your own cells which are collected from the blood stream and stored for your transplant.

Allogeneic transplant - uses cells from a family member, unrelated donor or umbilical cord blood unit.
