Bone Marrow Transplant in India

Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT), also known as stem cell transplant, is a life-saving treatment that replaces damaged or diseased bone marrow with healthy stem cells. Bone marrow is responsible for the production of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, all of which are necessary for oxygen transport, infection resistance, and blood clotting.

This treatment is often required for patients suffering from leukaemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, aplastic anaemia, thalassaemia, sickle cell anaemia, and other genetic or bone marrow failure syndromes. During the transplant, the patient’s defective marrow is destroyed through chemotherapy and/or radiation, and healthy stem cells are infused to repair the bone marrow.

India is widely regarded as the premier destination for bone marrow transplants, offering world-class medical expertise, cutting-edge technology, and affordable costs compared to Western countries.

Conditions Treated with Bone Marrow Transplant

Blood Cancers: Leukemia (AML, ALL, CML), Lymphoma (Hodgkin & Non-Hodgkin), Multiple Myeloma.
Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes: Aplastic Anemia, Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS).
Inherited Blood Disorders: Thalassemia Major, Sickle Cell Anemia, Fanconi Anemia.
Other Rare Disorders: Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID), Inherited Metabolic Disorders.

Types of Bone Marrow Transplant

Autologous Transplant: Uses the patient’s own stem cells.
Allogeneic Transplant: Uses stem cells from a matched sibling or unrelated donor.
Haploidentical Transplant: Uses stem cells from a partially matched family member.
Umbilical Cord Blood Transplant: Uses stem cells from donated umbilical cord blood.

Who is a Candidate for Bone Marrow Transplant?

Patients with blood cancers in remission or early stage.
Those with bone marrow failure syndromes not responding to other treatments.
Children & adults with severe inherited blood disorders.
Patients with good organ function and overall fitness to tolerate intensive therapy.
Availability of a suitable donor (matched or haploidentical).

Bone Marrow Transplant Procedure in India

Pre-Transplant Preparation

Comprehensive health evaluation.
HLA tissue typing & donor matching.
Pre-conditioning with chemotherapy and/or radiation.

Transplant Process

Infusion of healthy stem cells via IV (similar to blood transfusion).
Stem cells migrate to bone marrow & start producing new blood cells.

Post-Transplant Care

Close monitoring for infections, graft success, and GVHD.
Supportive care: antibiotics, immunosuppressants, nutritional and psychological support.
Long-term follow-up to track recovery and quality of life.

Transparent Pricing for Better Healing.

We believe that great care starts with trust. That’s why we ensure complete transparency in our treatment pricing—no surprises, no hidden fees, just honest and clear costs for the care you deserve.

Bone Marrow Transplant Cost in India

Type of Bone Marrow Transplant	Estimated Cost (USD)
Autologous Bone Marrow Transplant An autologous bone marrow transplant collects the patient’s own stem cells, which are stored and reinfused after high-dose chemotherapy or radiation to rebuild healthy bone marrow. Primarily used for blood cancers like lymphoma and myeloma, it reduces graft rejection risks but requires stringent infection control during recovery due to immune system depletion.	$600 – $1,200
Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplant with Matching Sibling Donor An allogeneic bone marrow transplant uses healthy stem cells from a matched sibling donor to replace the patient’s diseased marrow, offering a potential cure for leukemia, aplastic anemia, and genetic disorders. While it reduces relapse risks, it requires immunosuppression to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Close HLA matching improves outcomes.	$2,000 – $4,000
Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplant with Matched Unrelated Donor An allogeneic bone marrow transplant with a matched unrelated donor utilizes stem cells from a genetically compatible donor found through global registries, serving as an alternative when sibling matches are unavailable. Used for blood cancers and marrow disorders, it carries higher risks of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and requires meticulous HLA compatibility checks.	$3,000 – $6,000
Haploidentical Bone Marrow Transplant A haploidentical bone marrow transplant uses stem cells from a half-matched family donor (e.g., parent or child) when no full match exists. Advanced techniques like post-transplant cyclophosphamide reduce graft rejection and GVHD risks, expanding access for blood cancers and marrow disorders. Faster donor availability offsets slightly higher complication rates.

Note: Final costs depend on disease stage, treatment duration, drugs used, hospital stay, and individual patient factors.
