What is Bone Marrow Transplant?

A bone marrow transplant, also known as a hematopoietic stem cell transplant, is a medical procedure that involves replacing a person’s bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. The goal of the transplant is to replace the damaged or diseased bone marrow with healthy functioning bone marrow.

Types of Bone Marrow Transplants

There are two main types of bone marrow transplants:

1. Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplant: Donor and Recipient are two separate individuals and transplant is done using the stem cells of donor. It may be-

• Matched Related, where donor is HLA matched relative usually a sibling.
• Matched Unrelated, where donor is not a relative of patient and usually found from one of the various national or international registries.
• Partially Matched Related, where donor is from a patient’s family but partially matched (haploidentocal)
• Cord blood from a cord blood registry

2. Autologous Bone Marrow Transplant:Donor and Recipient are same individuals, where transplant is done using patient’s own stem cells. The procedure involves giving high dose chemotherapy to patient in order to remove primary disease. Thereafter, an autologous transplant is conducted to rescue damaged bone marrow. This type of transplant has minimal complication and is preferred for diseases like multiple myeloma/lymphoma.

Who Requires Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT)?

There are certain conditions for which Bone Marrow Transplant is recommended.

Malignant conditions:

• Acute Lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)
• Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
• Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML)
• Hodgkin Lymphoma
• Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
• Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)
• Multiple Myeloma
• Neuroblastoma
• Germ cell tumors
• Other rare cancers of childhood

Non-Cancerous Conditions

• Thalassemia
• sickle cell anemia
• Aplastic anemia
• Fanconi anemia and other bone marrow failure syndromes
• Inborn errors of metabolism
• Congenital Immunodeficiency syndromes

Bone Marrow Transplant Procedure

The bone marrow transplant procedure involves the following steps:

1. Pre-transplant evaluation: The patient undergoes a thorough evaluation to ensure they are healthy enough for the transplant.
2. Donor selection: A suitable donor is selected based on genetic matching and other factors.
3. Bone marrow harvest: The donor bone marrow is harvested through a process called bone marrow aspiration.
4. Conditioning regimen: The patient undergoes a conditioning regimen, which involves chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy to prepare the body for the transplant.
5. Transplantation: The donor bone marrow is infused into the patient’s bloodstream.
6. Recovery: The patient is monitored closely for signs of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), infection, and other complications.

Risks and Complications of Bone Marrow Transplant

As with any medical procedure, there are risks and complications associated with bone marrow transplant, including:

1. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD): A condition where the donor bone marrow attacks the patient’s body.
2. Infection: The patient may be at risk of infection, particularly in the first few months after the transplant.
3. Bleeding: The patient may be at risk of bleeding, particularly during the conditioning regimen.
4. Organ damage: The patient may be at risk of organ damage, particularly to the liver, kidneys, and lungs.
5. Relapse: The patient may be at risk of relapse, particularly if the underlying disease is not fully treated.
