Bone Marrow Transplantation

Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is a medical procedure focused on replacing damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy stem cells. It serves as a therapeutic approach for various conditions:

  • Leukemia: BMT is a prevalent treatment for acute and chronic leukemia, with recommendations for autologous or allogeneic BMT based on the leukemia type.
  • Lymphoma: BMT is frequently employed as a treatment option for specific lymphoma types, such as Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
  • Multiple Myeloma: BMT, combined with chemotherapy, addresses multiple myeloma, a cancer affecting bone marrow plasma cells.

Autologous Bone Marrow Transplantation

Autologous BMT involves collecting and storing a patient's own healthy stem cells for later transplantation after chemotherapy or radiation therapy. It is utilized for conditions like:

  • Multiple Myeloma: Autologous BMT, coupled with chemotherapy, is a standard approach for multiple myeloma.
  • Hodgkin's Lymphoma: Autologous BMT serves as a salvage therapy for relapsed or refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma.
  • Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma: Autologous BMT acts as a consolidation therapy for high-risk non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplantation

Allogeneic BMT involves using stem cells from a compatible donor, whether a family member or unrelated donor, to treat conditions such as:

  • Leukemia: Allogeneic BMT is a curative therapy for acute and chronic leukemia.
  • Lymphoma: It is a salvage therapy for certain lymphoma types, including Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
  • Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS): Allogeneic BMT serves as a curative therapy for MDS, a group of disorders impacting blood cell production.

Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation

Peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) involves collecting stem cells from the patient's blood for infusion after chemotherapy or radiation therapy. It is a treatment option for conditions such as:

  • Leukemia: PBSCT is utilized for both acute and chronic leukemia.
  • Lymphoma: It is a treatment option for specific lymphoma types, including Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
  • Multiple Myeloma: PBSCT, in conjunction with chemotherapy, is employed for multiple myeloma.

Cord Blood Transplantation

Cord blood transplantation involves using stem cells from umbilical cord blood collected at birth. It is a treatment for conditions such as:

  • Leukemia: Cord blood transplantation is considered for acute and chronic leukemia.
  • Genetic Disorders: It is employed to treat genetic disorders affecting blood cell production, such as sickle cell anemia and thalassemia.
