A bone marrow transplant is now a specialized surgical procedure used to treat leukemia, lymphoma, and Parkinson’s disease

BMT (Bone Marrow Transplantation) is a specialised treatment for individuals with disorders such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and multiple myeloma. Typically, hematologic stem cells are extracted from bone marrow. They are extracted and classified as either autologous or allogenic. Autologous cells are implanted in the sick area and fight the disease, whereas allogeneic cells are harvested from bone marrow and used in transplants. In general, BMT is more effective than other therapy techniques. In Germany, approximately 13,895 persons were diagnosed with leukaemia, with approximately 4% of them being children aged 15 and under.

One common cause of blood transfusions is the occurrence of sickle cell anemia. Sickle cell anemia is a disorder wherein the red blood cells of the body are shaped differently from normal. These blood cells are thick and might contain large amounts of iron. A bone marrow transplant can be given after the occurrence of sickle cell anemia. Blood transfusion therapy is not usually required when BMT is given. Another reason that a bone marrow transplant is thought to be helpful is that it improves the patient’s immunological condition. This means that during the course of the treatment, a healthy individual is given stem cells from their bone marrow to keep them from becoming unwell. Because these stem cells are derived from bone marrow, they are thought to be healthier than stem cells taken from the regular body. This suggests that the treatment has a better chance of being successful.

Patients who receive this form of treatment have a better than 50% probability of reaching full remission. This percentage, however, may fluctuate due to the success of this therapy. The technique involves the use of a new procedure in which fresh stem cells from the patient’s bone marrow are implanted into the patient’s bloodstream. Jupiter Hospital in Pune, India, recently opened a bone marrow transplant clinic to give modern medical therapy for common ailments such as myeloma, leukaemia, and lymphoma.
