About Bone marrow transplant treatment procedure
 

Bone marrow transplants (BMT) are a life-saving procedure used to treat a variety of diseases and disorders, including leukemia, lymphoma, myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), and other blood cancers. The procedure involves extracting bone marrow from the donor’s hip or other bone in their body and then transfusing it into the bloodstream of the patient. The bone marrow transplant procedure is complicated and requires the expertise of several doctors. The surgery usually takes about two hours to complete and patients are kept in observation in the hospital after the surgery. It is of two types: Autologous transplant, which uses cells from the patient’s body and Allogeneic transplant, which uses cells from a donor. In India, donors can be either related or unrelated to the patient but have to be living. There are several Indian clinics that offer bone marrow transplants at low costs. In addition, many Indian patients receive excellent care following their bone marrow transplant procedures. India is also home to some of the best bone marrow transplant doctors in the world. In India, the success rate of bone marrow transplant is largely dependent on the quality of donor tissue. In general, the success rate for allogeneic bone marrow transplants performed in India ranges from 55-60%. However, when transplanting stem cells from a related donor, the success rate can be as high as 75%.
