How long can you live after successful bone marrow transplantation

summary

As long as patients with leukemia, the only treatment is bone marrow transplantation, in the medical level of continuous development, technology has matured a lot, for bone marrow transplantation is also a kind of progress. But after all, there are still some risks. Let's talk about how long we can live after successful bone marrow transplantation.

How long can you live after successful bone marrow transplantation

First, it is difficult to have a clear answer about how long a patient can live after bone marrow transplantation. Although about 60% of adult patients with acute leukemia can have a long survival period of more than 3 years after allogeneic or syngeneic bone marrow transplantation, and some of them have a long survival period of more than 5-6 years. In the chronic phase of chronic myeloid leukemia, about 80% of the patients can survive for more than 3 years, and some of them have survived for more than 5-6 years. However, some of the patients still relapse or die due to severe exclusive reaction after bone marrow transplantation.

Second, bone marrow transplantation destroys the life immunity. The biggest disadvantage of bone marrow transplantation is that it destroys the life immunity and the function of self-reliance in the process of transplantation, making it unable to play the role of "rejection" and making the transplantation successful. However, immunity is an important factor for life to survive in self-defense, and the basic pillar for development and growth. The destruction of immunity makes the body unable to resist diseases and survive for a long time.

Third, there is also an important drawback of bone marrow transplantation, that is, there are very few bone marrow types suitable for transplantation, because it is very difficult to find bone marrow suppliers with the same HLA matching. According to statistics, about two out of 100000 people can match successfully. Moreover, even if people with the same matching type are found, they are often reluctant to supply because they are worried about the damage to the body after marrow extraction. Even if the bone marrow transplantation is successfully matched, the probability of clinical success is low. Although some of the bone marrow transplantation is successful, it will relapse soon.

matters needing attention

After successful bone marrow transplantation, if the patient's constitution is poor, immune rejection may occur, which will endanger the life of the patient. Under normal circumstances, after successful surgery can live about 12 years, but specific for each person may be different, because the late care is also very important.
