Bone Marrow Transplantation

Bone Marrow Transplantation

Dr. Tanusree Paul specializes in bone marrow transplantation (BMT) for children with hematological disorders, immune deficiencies, and pediatric cancers. With a focus on precision and compassionate care, she ensures a safe and effective transplant process, improving long-term outcomes for young patients.

Comprehensive Pre-Transplant Assessment

A thorough evaluation is conducted to determine the suitability for transplantation, including:

  • Detailed medical history and physical examination

  • Complete blood tests and genetic analysis

  • Bone marrow biopsy and imaging studies

  • Immunological and infectious disease screening

Types of Bone Marrow Transplantation

Dr. Paul offers different types of transplants based on the patient’s condition:

Autologous Transplant – Uses the patient’s own stem cells, typically for solid tumors and certain blood disorders.

Allogeneic Transplant – Uses stem cells from a matched donor (sibling, unrelated donor, or haploidentical), essential for conditions like leukemia, thalassemia, and immune deficiencies.

Umbilical Cord Blood Transplant – Uses stem cells from stored umbilical cord blood, an option for patients without a fully matched donor.

Transplant Procedure & Post-Transplant Care

Dr. Paul ensures a meticulously planned transplant process, including:

  • Conditioning therapy (chemotherapy or radiation) to prepare the body

  • Stem cell infusion for regeneration of healthy bone marrow

  • Close monitoring for complications such as infections, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and organ toxicity

  • Long-term follow-up care to ensure immune recovery and optimal health
