About this Procedure
A bone marrow transplant (BMT), also called a stem cell transplant, replaces unhealthy blood-forming cells with healthy stem cells so the body can start making new, healthy blood cells. It is used to treat some cancers, blood conditions and immune disorders, including acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, acute myeloid leukaemia, Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, multiple myeloma, sickle cell disease and thalassaemia.
There are two main types. An autologous transplant uses your own stem cells, collected from your blood or bone marrow before treatment. An allogeneic transplant uses stem cells from a donor, often a matched brother or sister, another family member or an unrelated donor. Your haematologist recommends the type based on your condition and donor availability.
First, your stem cells or your donor's are collected. You then receive conditioning treatment, usually high-dose chemotherapy and sometimes radiotherapy, to destroy the unhealthy cells. The healthy stem cells are given through a drip, much like a blood transfusion. You usually spend several weeks in hospital, often in a protective room, while the new cells begin to grow and your blood counts recover. After discharge, check-ups are frequent at first, and it can take up to a year to recover fully.
