- What types of bone marrow transplants are there?
Bone marrow transplants are of two types:
Allogenic Transplant: A donor provides the stem cells.
Autologous Transplant: The patient’s own stem cells are used, mainly as a high-dose rescue therapy.

- What are the key indications for an allogenic bone marrow transplant?
An allogenic transplant is performed for:
Cancerous conditions: Such as leukemia and lymphoma.
Non-cancerous conditions: Including aplastic anemia, sickle cell anemia, primary immunodeficiencies, and rare syndromes like VEXAS.

- What are the phases of a bone marrow transplant?
The process is divided into four main phases:
Preparation: Conditioning therapy to prepare the body for the transplant.
Engraftment Phase: Occurs over 14-16 days when donor stem cells begin to grow.
Critical Support Phase: Requires intensive care for low blood counts, side effects, and infections.
Recovery and Monitoring Phase: Spanning 6-12 months, focuses on recovery, graft stability, and monitoring for complications like GVHD and infections.

- What are the complications associated with the fourth phase?
The two major complications are:
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD): Donor cells may attack organs like the liver, skin, and intestines.
Infections: Including viral (CMB, EBV), bacterial, and fungal infections.

- How does Continental Hospitals handle complex transplants?
At Continental Hospitals, both simple and complex bone marrow transplants are performed, even for patients with refractory diseases or co-existing organ issues. The team works to optimize patient fitness pre-transplant to ensure the best outcomes with minimal side effects.

- What makes bone marrow transplants a curative therapy?
Bone marrow transplants replace defective bone marrow or immune systems, offering a cure for both cancerous and non-cancerous hematological conditions.
