Blood & Bone Marrow/Stem Cells Transplants

Today, one of the most aggressive medical procedures, that is used in the fight against cancer is blood and bone marrow transplants. The procedure aims to replace cancer cells with blood, bone marrow or healthy stem cells. This program of blood and bone marrow transplants at the medical centers gained considerable recognition among experts in the medical community due to the extensive efforts found in its leading researches and breakthrough clinical trials as well as in its commitment to excellence in patient care.

A comprehensive range of medical services is available through the "blood & bone marrow transplant program”, including diagnosis, screening, pre-transplant preparation and guidance, treatment after discharge from the hospital, healing and nutritional counseling. Our team of elite doctors and nurses who are specially trained, deal on a daily basis with the unsolved mysteries of blood-related cancers.

The transplanted cells are eventually able to generate all the cells circulating in the blood stream (red blood cells which carry oxygen, white blood cells which fight infections, platelets which help control bleeding), along with all the cells of the immune system. It is possible to take the stem cells from the patient himself or from someone else. We often retrieve stem cells from the bone marrow in which case the procedure is called bone marrow transplant. More often, we retrieve stem cells from the blood, in which case the procedure is known stem cell transplant.

Umbilical Cord Blood

Umbilical cord blood is blood drawn from the newborn's umbilical cord and placenta. This blood is a source of stem cells, which can be used to treat numerous diseases, previously treated with bone marrow from stem cells. Today these cells can be used for the treatment of hematological diseases such as Fanconi Anemia and Leukemia. Studies are performed on regeneration of cells and tissues of other types
