Diseases & Conditions Treated by BMT

Bone marrow transplantation (BMT), also known as hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), is a medical procedure that involves replacing damaged or diseased bone marrow with healthy stem cells. This treatment can be life-saving for patients with various blood disorders, cancers, and immune deficiencies. Here, we provide a detailed overview of some conditions that can be […]

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is a type of blood cancer that arises from the uncontrolled growth and accumulation of immature lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) in the bone marrow. It is the most common form of leukemia in children, but it can also affect adults. Due to its rapid progression, early diagnosis and […]

Overview of Lymphoma Lymphoma is a type of cancer that originates in the lymphatic system, a vital component of the immune system responsible for combating infections and maintaining fluid balance in the body. Lymphomas are classified into two primary categories: Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). These two classifications stem from differences in clinical […]

Multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer that originates in the plasma cells, a subtype of white blood cells responsible for producing antibodies to fight infections. When plasma cells become cancerous, they proliferate uncontrollably, forming a mass or tumor within the bone marrow. This results in weakened bones, compromised immune function, and a range […]

Overview of Sickle Cell Anemia Diagnosis Diagnosis of sickle cell anemia usually occurs during infancy through newborn screening programs. Blood tests, such as the hemoglobin electrophoresis test, can detect the presence of abnormal hemoglobin. In some cases, prenatal testing may be performed to determine if a baby has the disorder before birth.Sickle cell anemia is […]
