This patient was treated for Bone marrow transplant

What is a bone marrow transplant and when is it performed?

A bone marrow transplant, also known as a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT),is an advanced medical procedure that replaces damaged bone marrow with healthy stem cells capable of producing red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This process helps restore normal blood function and strengthens the immune system.

This treatment is essential for patients with conditions such as leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, or aplastic anemia, especially when the bone marrow stops functioning properly due to disease or as a result of treatments like chemotherapy.

Whether using the patient's own cells (autologous transplant) or cells from a compatible donor (allogeneic transplant),this procedure offers a real chance for recovery. Beyond medical benefits, it can significantly improve quality of life and represents a real source of hope for those facing serious hematologic diseases.

Types of transplants in Istanbul, Turkey

In Istanbul, oncologists have developed different types of stem cell transplants to match a patient's health condition and the specific disease being treated. Each type has unique features and benefits, and selecting the most suitable one can significantly impact recovery:

Type of transplant

Source of cells

Main indications

Key features

Autologous

Patient's own cells.

After chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

Cells are collected, stored, and reintroduced to avoid immune rejection.

Allogeneic

Healthy, compatible donor.

Leukemia, lymphoma, and other blood disorders.

The most common type requires genetic compatibility and immune monitoring.

Reduced-Intensity

Healthy, compatible donor.

Older patients or those with fragile health.

Similar to an allogeneic transplant, but uses milder chemotherapy to reduce risk.

Syngeneic

Genetically identical donor (twin).

Special cases with full compatibility.

Maximum genetic match; minimal risk of rejection.

The importance of a stem cell transplant lies in restoring bone marrow function: producing red blood cells (prevents anemia),white blood cells (fights infections),and platelets (prevents bleeding). Choosing the right type of transplant is critical for a successful recovery.

Take the first step toward recovery. Contact us today to discover which type of stem cell transplant is best suited for you. Our specialists in Turkey offer personalized guidance, including a freeonline consultation, to ensure you receive the care and support you need.

Bone marrow transplant process in Istanbul, Turkey

A bone marrow transplant is a complex medical treatment that requires careful preparation, precision, and ongoing follow-up. With Turqui Santé, the procedure is carried out in specialized centers in Istanbul. Patients receive close medical supervision and multidisciplinary support throughout each stage.

Preparation and hospitalization

Before the transplant, the patient is hospitalized for approximately 15 days. During this time, they receive conditioning treatment with chemotherapy or radiotherapy, designed to eliminate damaged cells and prepare the bone marrow to receive the new stem cells. This step is essential to increase the chances of a successful transplant.

The transplant procedure

The transplant is performed through an intravenous infusion of stem cells, similar to a blood transfusion. These cells travel through the bloodstream until they reach the bone marrow, where they begin to produce new blood cells and gradually restore the immune system.

Post-transplant recovery and follow-up

Most patients can leave the hospital within 30 to 50 days after the transplant. However, medical follow-up continues closely during the first 100 days to monitor how well the new cells are working and to prevent complications such as infections or rejection. Careful monitoring is a vital part of the recovery process.

Risks and complications of bone marrow transplant

Like any major medical treatment, bone marrow transplant carries certain risks. These potential complications vary depending on the patient's health, the type of transplant, and individual response. Careful monitoring and preventive strategies are essential to reduce these risks:

Risk/complication

Description

Preventive measures

Graft rejection or Graft-versus-Host Disease (GVHD).

  • In allogeneic transplants, donor cells may attack the recipient's body.

  • This can affect the skin, digestive tract, liver, and other organs.

  • Use of immunosuppressive medication.

  • Strict monitoring.

  • Early treatment to limit the immune response.

Infections and bleeding.

  • After the transplant, the immune system is temporarily weakened.

  • Risk of infections and bleeding.

  • Preventive antibiotics and antifungals

  • Protective measures in hospital.

  • Blood product support.

  • Constant medical supervision.

Organ toxicity

Chemotherapy or radiotherapy used in conditioning may affect organs such as the liver, lungs, or heart.

  • Careful selection of conditioning regimen.

  • Regular organ function tests.

  • Supportive treatments.

Slow engraftment or graft failure.

In some cases, the new stem cells may take longer to produce healthy blood cells or fail to engraft completely.

  • Close follow-up of blood counts.

  • Supportive care.

  • Possible additional interventions.

Every patient undergoing a bone marrow transplant is closely monitored during and after the procedure. Early detection and immediate treatment of complications play a key role in improving outcomes and supporting recovery.

Success rates and prognosis of bone marrow transplant

A bone marrow transplant can be the turning point between limited options and a real chance of recovery. Success rates vary depending on the patient's age, health condition, and the type of donor involved:

These figures highlight the importance of undergoing a transplant at the right time, selecting the most suitable donor, and ensuring close post-transplant monitoring. With advances in medical care, many patients are now able to achieve remission and enjoy long-term recovery after a stem cell transplant.

Frequently asked questions

The bone marrow transplant cost in Turkey varies according to the procedure type. For autologous transplants, costs range from 16500 euros to 20500 euros. For allogeneic transplants, prices vary between 53000 euros and 66000 euros.

Generally speaking, a sibling is considered the ideal and most compatible donor for a bone marrow transplant. As the related donor transplants can achieve a 100% success rate. This is due to the genetic compatibility of both parties, which is determined by human tissue markers called human leukocyte antigens (HLA). Nevertheless, unrelated donors with partial compatibility can be used in certain situations, although this may require high medical supervision to prevent rejection risk.

Once the cancer cells have been destroyed, bone marrow harvesting from the sternum or pelvic bone may take 1 to 2 hours. The stem cells are then transferred by intravenous infusion within a few hours. After transplantation, the recipient patient will be monitored to ensure that the transplant goes smoothly and to minimize any risk of complication.

To ensure a successful bone marrow transplant, it’s important to have a well-matched donor, be in good health, and follow all medical advice. Patients must undergo conditioning treatment to prepare their bodies for the transplant. In addition, emotional support and rest also help in recovery.

The main techniques used to harvest bone marrow are :

  • Biopsy: using a needle inserted into the bone.
  • Aspiration: puncture of the iliac bone
  • Apheresis: collection of stem cells from peripheral blood
