Why Choose ACIBADEM
Bone Marrow Transplant Center ?

Pursuant to the Bone Marrow Transplant Program implemented in Bone Marrow Transplant Centers, autologous (native tissue), allogeneic (full-match related or unrelated donor) and haploidentical (semi-match donors; mother, father, son, daughter, sibling) transplants are performed. The center serves both adult and pediatric populations. Bone marrow and stem cells are harvested and the cells are sorted and processed in laboratories of Acıbadem Labcell with cGMP accreditation certificate.

For those fighting blood disorders or certain cancers, a bone marrow transplant offers hope. This procedure, also known as hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, replaces bad bone marrow with good stem cells. These stem cells can grow into different blood cell types, helping the body make healthy blood again.

Bone marrow transplant has changed how we treat diseases like leukemia, lymphoma, and aplastic anemia. It gives many patients a second chance when other treatments fail. The transplant process is detailed, involving finding the right donor, preparing, and recovering afterwards.

This guide aims to explain bone marrow transplant in detail. We’ll cover the different transplant types, the procedure, risks, and recovery. Our goal is to support and understand those on this life-changing journey.

Types of Bone Marrow Transplants

Understanding the different types of bone marrow transplants is key. The choice depends on the patient’s health, age, and donor availability. Let’s look at autologous, allogeneic, and haploidentical transplants.

Autologous Transplant
An autologous transplant uses the patient’s own stem cells. Before the transplant, the patient gets medications to boost stem cell production. These cells are then collected from the blood. This method avoids graft-versus-host disease because the cells are from the patient.
Allogeneic Transplant
An allogeneic transplant gets stem cells from a donor, like a family member or an unrelated person with a human leukocyte antigen (HLA) match. Choosing the right donor is critical to avoid complications. The donor’s stem cells help rebuild the immune system and fight cancer.
Haploidentical Transplant
A haploidentical transplant uses a half-match donor, often a parent, child, or sibling. This option is great when a full match is hard to find. Thanks to new transplant methods, haploidentical transplants work well and offer hope.

Why Is A Bone Marrow Transplant Needed ?

Bone marrow transplants are often needed for blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma. They are also used for blood disorders like aplastic anemia and sickle cell disease. In these cases, the bone marrow is damaged or not working right.

For cancer patients, a stem cell transplant can be a cure. The chemotherapy or radiation before the transplant kills cancer cells. The healthy stem cells help rebuild blood cell production and the immune system.

By replacing the diseased bone marrow with healthy stem cells, a bone marrow transplant offers hope for patients battling life-threatening blood cancers and disorders. The procedure, though complex and not without risks, has revolutionized the treatment of these conditions. It continues to be a key tool in fighting leukemia, lymphoma, and other blood-related diseases.
