summary

Now the only way to cure many diseases is bone marrow transplantation, not only leukemia. Recently, a friend's child has been looking for bone marrow. Let's talk about the common problem of what disease can be treated by bone marrow transplantation!

What disease can bone marrow transplant treat

First, the advantages of bone marrow transplantation over conventional chemotherapy in acute leukemia can be fully reflected. This therapy can significantly improve the disease-free survival rate of patients with acute leukemia. According to the analysis of a large number of cases by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and ibmtr, the 3-year disease-free survival rate of AML patients receiving allo BMT in the first remission is about 50%, while the 3-year disease-free survival rate of patients receiving chemotherapy in the same period is only 18-27%.

Second, allogeneic bone marrow transplantation is the only way to cure CML. After allogeneic bone marrow transplantation, the 5-year disease-free survival rate of CML patients in chronic phase can reach 60-90%. Even in the same chronic stage, BMT within 17 months after diagnosis is better than BMT after 17 months. The younger the patient is, the better the curative effect is. The curative effect of patients taking hydroxyurea before transplantation is better than that of patients taking busulfan. The domestic statistical results showed that: CML patients in chronic phase received sibling allogeneic bone marrow transplantation with the same HLA matching, and the long-term disease-free survival rate was 80%. CML patients in accelerated phase or cataclysm phase were less effective than those in chronic phase. Leukemia is the most common disease that needs bone marrow transplantation, and bone marrow transplantation is the only way to cure it.

Third, multiple myeloma In the past, it was considered that MM patients were not suitable for BMT. With the progress of supportive treatment and the emergence of young patients, the number of successful cases of BMT for MM has gradually increased. According to the data of ibmtr, European bone marrow transplantation agency and ferdhutchsin cancer research center, about 150 mm patients in the world received bone marrow transplantation, and the 3-year disease-free survival rate of BMT patients in the first remission period was 69%.
