Stem cell transplantation is a groundbreaking treatment used to replace damaged or diseased bone marrow with healthy stem cells, offering a new chance at life for patients with certain cancers and blood disorders. At Bhatia Hospital, recognized as the best oncology hospital in Mumbai, we provide comprehensive and cutting-edge stem cell transplant services with a focus on precision, safety, and compassionate care.
A stem cell transplant is a medical procedure that replaces defective or destroyed bone marrow with healthy stem cells. Stem cells are essential as they give rise to all types of blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This treatment is particularly effective for conditions such as:
- Blood cancers (leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma).
- Severe aplastic anemia.
- Certain immune and genetic disorders.
The procedure involves harvesting stem cells from a donor (allogeneic transplant) or the patient’s own body (autologous transplant) and transplanting them after high-dose chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
Symptoms and Conditions Treated with Stem Cell Transplants
Stem cell transplants are used to treat several life-threatening diseases, including:
- Leukemia: Blood cancer affecting white blood cells.
- Lymphoma: Cancer that originates in the lymphatic system.
- Multiple Myeloma: Cancer of plasma cells in the bone marrow.
- Severe Aplastic Anemia: A condition where the bone marrow fails to produce enough blood cells.
- Immune System Disorders: Conditions like severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID).
- Genetic Disorders: Diseases like sickle cell anemia or thalassemia.
