What is Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT)?
Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT), also known as Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation, is a specialized medical procedure used to replace damaged or diseased bone marrow with healthy stem cells. Bone marrow is the soft tissue inside bones that produces important blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
When bone marrow becomes damaged due to diseases such as blood cancers or bone marrow disorders, it may not produce healthy blood cells. In a Bone Marrow Transplant, healthy stem cells are infused into the patient’s bloodstream. These stem cells travel to the bone marrow and begin producing new, healthy blood cells, helping restore the body’s normal blood cell production.
Conditions Treated with Bone Marrow Transplant
Bone Marrow Transplant is commonly used to treat several serious blood disorders and cancers, including:
- Leukemia (blood cancer)
- Lymphoma
- Multiple Myeloma
- Aplastic Anemia
- Thalassemia
- Sickle Cell Disease
- Bone marrow failure disorders
Types of Bone Marrow Transplant
1. Autologous Transplant
Stem cells are collected from the patient’s own body and later transplanted back after high-dose treatment.
2. Allogeneic Transplant
Stem cells are collected from a compatible donor, such as a family member or matched unrelated donor.
3. Umbilical Cord Blood Transplant
Stem cells are taken from umbilical cord blood, which contains a rich source of hematopoietic stem cells.
