Dr. Niti Krishna Raizada, Senior Director of Medical Oncology and Hemato Oncology, Fortis Hospital Bannerghatta Bangalore, provides you with valuable information about bone marrow transplant or peripheral stem cell transplant for hematological cancers or blood cancers. Dr. Niti explains that bone marrow transplant is a technique used for various types of blood cancers, such as leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, myelodysplastic syndrome, and myeloproliferative neoplasms. There are two main types of bone marrow transplant: autologous transplant and allogeneic transplant. Autologous transplant is typically performed for myelomas and lymphomas, where your own peripheral stem cells are harvested and collected through a machine kept in refrigeration. High-intensity chemotherapy is then administered, and the harvested cells are reintroduced into your body to regenerate the normal cells that have been destroyed by the chemotherapy.
