Blood cancer treatment 

The type of treatment you have for blood cancer will depend on the stage of your cancer. Treatment include bone marrow transplant, chemotherapy, targeted therapy & radiotherapy.

Your treatment depends on where your cancer is, how big it is, whether it has spread anywhere else in your body, and your general health. A team of doctors and others professionals decide on the best blood cancer treatment and care for you.

Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT)

Bone marrow transplant (BMT) or Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the procedure that is used to replace the unhealthy bone marrow with new healthy bone marrow. Bone marrow is the soft fatty tissue inside the bones that is responsible for the production of blood cells. There are several medical conditions to which the bone marrow become dysfunctional and therefore needs to be replaced. Further there are multiple types of Bone marrow transplants based on the donor of the bone marrow or stem cells.

Haploidentical (Half-Matched) Transplant

. T-Cell Depletion is mandating in haploidentical transplant.

. T-Cell Depletion can be done in two ways. INVIVO (T cell depleted by using high dose of chemotherapy inside the body) or INVITRO T cell depletion (T cell depletion by using a machine outside the body). Both these modalities have their advantages and disadvantages. Choice depends on a number of patient and donor related factors.

Allogenic bone marrow transplant (BMT) is typically recommended to treat certain medical conditions where the bone marrow is dysfunctional.

  . Cancers like leukaemia, Myelo-dysplasia etc.

  . Disease that affect the production of bone marrow cells like

      . Aplastic anaemia (acquired or inherited)

      . Other marrow failure states (ex. Congenital neutropenia, amega karyocytic thrombocyto-penia etc)

      . Severe immunodeficiency syndrome's

      . Sickle cell anaemia

      . Thalassemia major

 Autologous Bone Marrow Transplant ( High dose chemotherapy + autologous stem cell rescue) is recommended to treat where we need to give high dose of chemotherapy to treat underlying disease following which autologous harvested bone marrow is given as rescue. The Indication includes:

.Cancers Like :

      . Neuroblastoma

      . Medulloblastoma

      . Wilm's Tumor

      . Lymphoma's

      . Multiple Myeloma etc.

Chemotherapy 

Treatment :  Chemotherapy
Success Rate : 80-85%
Basic Package : 600 USD-2000 USD  (per cycle)
Total Stay in Hospital : 1-2 days.
Total Stay in India : 60 days

Chemotherapy is a drug treatment that uses powerful chemicals to kill fast-growing cells in your body. 

Targeted Therapy

Treatment : Targeted Therapy
Success Rate : 80-90%
Basic Package : 10000 USD-12000 USD  (per cycle)
Total Stay in Hospital : 3-4 days.
Total Stay in India : 30-60 days

Targeted therapy is a cancer treatment that uses drugs to target specific genes and proteins that are involved in the growth and survival of cancer cells. Targeted therapy can affect the tissue environment that helps a cancer grow and survive or it can target cells related to cancer growth, like blood vessel cells.

Radiation Therapy

a) Treatment : Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) 
Success Rate : 97-99%
Basic Package : 6000 USD  (APPROX).
Total Stay in Hospital : 0 days.
Total Stay in India : 20-25 days

Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) refers to the use of imaging, usually CT scans and X-rays, to help precisely target the cancer with radiation therapy. This is another important advance in the radiation therapy technology that improves the chance of killing a cancer whilst reducing the risk of damaging normal body tissues and structures. 

b) Treatment : Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)
Success Rate : 97-99%
Basic Package : 4500 USD  (APPROX).
Total Stay in Hospital : 0 days.
Total Stay in India : 20-25 days

Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is the most advanced form of 3-D conformal radiation therapy, a technique that adjusts the radiation beam to the contours of a tumor, allowing for higher, more effective doses of radiation to be delivered while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue.
