What is a Bone Marrow Transplant?
Bone marrow is the soft tissue inside certain bones that produces:
- Red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body.
- White blood cells, which help fight infections.
- Platelets, which help control bleeding.
When the bone marrow is affected by certain diseases, it may stop making enough healthy blood cells or may begin producing abnormal cells. A bone marrow transplant helps replace unhealthy blood-forming cells with healthy stem cells so that the bone marrow can gradually start producing healthy blood cells again. Stem cells used for transplantation may be collected from the patient, a suitable donor, or in some cases from other approved stem cell sources, depending on the treatment plan.
Conditions Treated with Bone Marrow Transplant
At Paras HMRI, bone marrow transplant may be considered for selected patients with:
- Leukaemia
- Lymphoma
- Multiple myeloma
- Aplastic anaemia
- Myelodysplastic syndromes
- Thalassaemia
- Sickle cell disease
- Certain inherited blood disorders
- Certain immune system disorders
Not every patient with these conditions requires a transplant. A detailed evaluation is needed to determine whether transplantation is the right treatment option.
When may a Bone Marrow Transplant be Recommended?
A specialist may consider bone marrow transplant treatment when:
- The bone marrow is not producing enough healthy blood cells.
- Abnormal blood cells are affecting normal blood production.
- A blood cancer has not responded adequately to other treatments.
- The disease has returned after previous treatment.
- A serious inherited blood disorder requires replacement of unhealthy blood-forming cells.
- A suitable donor is available for a donor-based transplant, where required.
The decision is based on the patient’s diagnosis, disease stage, overall health, previous treatment response, and expected benefits and risks.
Types of Bone Marrow Transplant
At Paras HMRI, the type of transplant considered depends on the patient’s condition and the source of healthy stem cells.
1. Autologous Stem Cell Transplant
In an autologous transplant, healthy stem cells are collected from the patient’s own body before intensive treatment.
After chemotherapy, the stored stem cells are returned to the bloodstream to help the bone marrow recover and begin producing healthy blood cells again.
2. Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant
In an allogeneic transplant, healthy stem cells are received from a suitable donor.
The donor may be a brother, sister, another family member, or in some cases an unrelated matched donor. Blood and tissue-matching tests are performed to identify the most appropriate donor.
What Happens During a Bone Marrow Transplant?
Bone marrow transplantation is a planned treatment journey and usually involves several stages:
1. Detailed Evaluation - Blood tests, imaging, infection screening, and assessment of the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and overall health.
2. Stem Cell Collection or Donor Matching - Stem cells are collected from the patient or a suitable donor, depending on the type of transplant.
3. Pre-Transplant Treatment - Chemotherapy is usually given to control diseased cells and prepare the bone marrow for transplantation.
4. Stem Cell Infusion - Healthy stem cells are given through a vein, similar to a blood transfusion.
5. Recovery and Monitoring - Patients are closely monitored while the transplanted stem cells begin producing new blood cells.
Benefits of Bone Marrow Transplant
For appropriately selected patients, a bone marrow transplant may help:
- Restore healthy blood cell production.
- Replace damaged or diseased bone marrow.
- Support treatment of certain blood cancers.
- Improve control of selected blood disorders.
- Provide a treatment option when other therapies may not be sufficient.
- Support longer-term disease management in suitable patients.
The expected benefits vary from person to person and depend on the underlying condition and overall health.
