Bone Marrow Transplant Unit

A bone marrow transplant, or a stem cell transplant, is a procedure that treats certain diseases by surgically removing damaged or sick bone marrow and replacing it with healthy stem cells. These stem cells can be obtained from the patient themselves (autologous transplant) or from an external donor (allogeneic transplant). This helps in the regeneration of normal blood cells and improves the immune system, particularly after treatments like chemotherapy or radiation that damage the bone marrow’s ability to function.

All other types of bone marrow and stem cell transplants are done at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Navi Mumbai. They include autologous transplants where the patient’s own stem cells are used; allogeneic transplants, which involve stem cells from a compatible donor; haploidentical transplants where the stem cells are from a half-matched family member; and umbilical cord blood transplants which uses stem cells from donated umbilical cords. The specific type of transplant used will depend on the patient’s condition and age, as well as the presence of an appropriate donor.

Transplantation of the bone marrow can treat and in certain cases even save the lives of patients suffering from cancers and disorders of the blood. It is common treatment for diseases like leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, aplastic anemia, thalassemia, sickle cell, some immunological or genetic disorders. Each patient is taken through our systematic workup to ensure that a transplant is the most appropriate treatment for them.

We focus on bone marrow or stem cell transplantation for the most common ailments:

• Acute and Chronic Leukemias
  These are fast-growing or slow-progressing cancers of the blood and bone marrow. Stem cell transplants help restore healthy blood-forming cells after intensive chemotherapy or radiation.
• Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas
  These cancers affect the lymphatic system and may become resistant to initial treatments. Bone marrow transplantation offers a chance for long-term remission in relapsed or high-risk cases.
• Multiple Myeloma
  This is a plasma cell cancer that frequently involves bones and kidneys. Autologous stem cell transplant is an established treatment for extending survival and enhancing quality of life.
• Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS)
  This is a collection of diseases resulting from abnormally formed or defective blood cells. Allogeneic stem cell transplant is the only potentially curative therapy.
• Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes
  These include aplastic anaemia in which the marrow ceases to produce sufficient blood cells. Transplants can reverse normal bone marrow function and end reliance on transfusions.
• Congenital and Inheritable Immunodeficiencies
  Children born with faulty immune systems face life-threatening infections, for them stem cell transplants are the only permanent solution for long-term cure.
• Hereditary Metabolic Diseases
  These genetic conditions disrupt normal metabolism and can cause severe organ damage. Early bone marrow transplant can halt disease progression and improve survival outcomes.
• Non-Malignant Hematopoietic Disorders
  Certain blood disorders such as thalassemia and sickle cell anaemia can severely affect your health. Transplants offer a potential cure by replacing the abnormal blood-forming cells with healthy donor cells.
