How long can you live after bone marrow transplantation

First, bone marrow transplantation, or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, is a method of treating a series of diseases by intravenous infusion of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells to reconstruct the normal hematopoiesis and immune system of patients. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has replaced the term "bone marrow transplantation" to a certain extent, because hematopoietic stem cells not only come from bone marrow, but also are mobilized into peripheral blood by hematopoietic factors.

Second, patients should do a series of blood and bone marrow tests before transplantation to determine the diagnosis, type and state of the disease, so as to determine the appropriate pretreatment scheme, monitoring of primary diseases after transplantation and appropriate intervention strategies. At the same time, the donors with identical HLA matching, healthy body, normal hematopoietic and immune system function should be selected.

Third: the use of pretreatment can suppress the immune system and clear the disease. Therefore, there are many kinds of pretreatment schemes to choose. There are three main sources of hematopoietic stem cells for transplantation: bone marrow, peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell collection and umbilical cord blood.
