BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT

Branches CLINICAL SERVICES BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT
Hematology;It examines the origin, development, structure and regulation levels of the blood composition, which consists of multiple branches of science related to blood and blood-producing organs.It also performs blood transfusion, stem cell applications and bone shrinkage. Hematology specialty is known as a subspecialty in medicine.Physicians who specialize in this field are highly trained in internal medicine.

About Bone Narrow

Leucamia is a type of cancer that is generally preferred to be treated with medications in childhood.The chemotherapy process usually lasts 3-3.5 years, the duration varies for each child and adult.Approximately 85% of patients appear to recover during this period.Chemotherapy can never be effective in some diseases.The method that can be applied for people who cannot respond to treatment is narrow bone transplantation.The main purpose of stem cell therapy is to transfer stem cells taken from healthy people to a leukemia patient. It ensures normal blood production of the patient.

Removal of primary stem cells in narrow bone transplantation

Various tests are applied to understand whether tissue groups are compatible or not. It is possible to obtain compatible tissue groups (HLA) from siblings or, rarely, from other family members.

It is also possible to get it from people who are not relatives.

It may be possible to freeze the patient's own marrow and give it back to the patient.

It is possible to take primary stem cells from healthy people with special and critical treatments and transfer them to patients.The placenta of the newborn sibling can be used as tissue.

Bone recruitment phase

The collection phase is done in the hospital, where surgery is performed under anesthesia.The patient's bones are entered with the help of special needles and injections.The necessary cells are drawn into the needle.The harvested stem cells must be carried with the patient in special bags and injected to establish a vascular access.The transferred durable and new stem cells begin to show their effects in approximately 3 weeks.Damaged blood cells are slowly repaired.In some cases, it is necessary to wait for the stem cell to adapt to the patient's body.For this reason, the transferred stem cell is regularly supported with external protectors for 6 months.
