Stem Cell Transplantation Explained by Dr Sisir Kumar Patra [Video]

Stem cell transplantation is a crucial procedure for treating severe blood diseases and cancers, commonly known as bone marrow transplantation. Dr Sisir Kumar Patra, a Consultant in Hematology, Haemato Oncology, and Bone Marrow Transplant at Narayana Hospital, Howrah, clarifies that this involves harvesting and transplanting healthy stem cells to restore damaged bone marrow. It’s primarily used for conditions like thalassemia, aplastic anemia, various leukemias, Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and immunodeficiency diseases.

The transplantation process starts with collecting stem cells, conditioning chemotherapy, and reintroducing the cells into the patient’s bloodstream to repair the bone marrow. While the prognosis is generally positive for many treated conditions, outcomes can vary, especially in aggressive cancers like acute myeloid and lymphoblastic leukemia. This treatment significantly enhances patient survival and quality of life, providing a vital option for those with life-threatening illnesses.
