FAQs

  • Who needs a bone marrow transplant?
    Patients with conditions such as leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, severe aplastic anemia, sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, and certain inherited immune system or metabolic disorders may need a BMT.
  • How are stem cells collected for the transplant?
    Stem cells can be collected from:Bone Marrow: Harvested directly from the bone marrow, usually from the hip bone, under anesthesia. Peripheral Blood: Collected from the bloodstream after the donor receives medication to increase stem cell production. Umbilical Cord Blood: Collected from the umbilical cord and placenta after childbirth
  • How long does it take to recover from a bone marrow transplant?
    Recovery time varies, but it generally takes several months to a year for the immune system to fully recover. Patients may spend several weeks in the hospital and require close monitoring and follow-up care for an extended period.
  • What is engraftment, and how is it monitored?
    Engraftment is the process by which the transplanted stem cells begin to grow and produce new blood cells in the bone marrow. It is monitored through regular blood tests, which measure the levels of white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets.
  • How do patients find a bone marrow donor?
    Patients can find donors through: Family Members: Siblings or relatives who may be a match. Donor Registries: National and international bone marrow donor registries, such as the National Marrow Donor Program (Be The Match). Cord Blood Banks: For patients eligible for cord blood transplants.
  • What can patients expect during the hospital stay for a bone marrow transplant?
    Patients will undergo conditioning therapy (chemotherapy and/or radiation), receive the stem cell infusion, and stay in a specialized transplant unit to minimize infection risk. They will receive supportive care, including medications, blood transfusions, and nutritional support, and be closely monitored for complications.
