Bone marrow is the soft, spongy tissue found inside bones. It contains hematopoietic (blood-forming) stem cells,
which develop into red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Healthy bone marrow is essential for normal
blood production and a strong immune system.
What is Bone Marrow Transplantation?
Bone Marrow Transplantation (BMT) is a specialized treatment that involves the infusion of healthy
hematopoietic stem cells to re-establish normal bone marrow function following intensive chemotherapy or
radiation therapy. It is performed in high-risk malignancies where chemotherapy and immunotherapy alone are
insucient to achieve cure.
At our hospital, Bone Marrow Transplantation is performed by experienced super-specialist clinical hematooncologists, following strict international safety and infection-control protocols.
