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 Turkey, donors can be either related or unrelated to the patient but have to be living. There are several Turkish clinics that offer bone marrow transplants at low costs. In addition, many patients receive excellent care following their bone marrow transplant procedures. Turkey is also home to some of the best bone marrow transplant doctors in the world. In Turkey, the success rate of bone marrow transplant is around 80%.

  • Different hospitals and clinics: The cost of the Bone marrow transplant treatment varies in different hospitals and clinics. The hospitals charge according to their exclusivity and the availability of modern medical instruments and technologies.
  • Cost of the doctors: The more the qualification and experience of the doctors, the more will be his or her charge.
  • Patient's overall health and age: The older a patient is, the more difficult it is to find a compatible donor organ. Also, chronic diseases such as diabetes or hypertension can also raise transplant costs significantly. 
  • Type of the donor: The cost is also affected depending on the type of the donor: related fully matched and unrelated fully matched (from Turkey or from Europe).

In the United States or other European countries, Bone marrow transplant treatment can cost 10 times more than what it is in Turkey. The answer for such a low cost is that the cost of living in Turkey is one of the cheapest in the world. In Turkey, not only accommodation is low, but also the medical costs and payments.

The alternative to bone marrow transplant is undergoing chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiation therapy. It depends on the individual situation and the pros and cons of each procedure should be asked by you to your healthcare provider in order to make an informed decision.
