Bone Marrow Transplantation (BMT)

Bone Marrow Transplantation (BMT) is a medical procedure that replaces damaged or diseased bone marrow—the soft tissue inside bones responsible for producing blood cells—with healthy marrow from a donor or the patient's own stored cells. This treatment is often used for conditions like leukemia, lymphoma, or other blood disorders. The process involves rigorous preparation, including chemotherapy or radiation, to eliminate unhealthy cells, followed by transplantation of the healthy marrow. Once transplanted, the new marrow establishes itself, producing healthy blood cells and helping restore the patient's immune system, offering a potential cure for certain serious illnesses.
