Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) is a procedure where healthy stem cells that can form blood are introduced to replace damaged or diseased bone marrow. Bone marrow is a soft tissue that is present inside the bones and it helps in producing blood cells.
Bone marrow transplant (BMT) is required by patients suffering from various types of blood cancers – multiple melanomas, leukaemia, lymphoma, various types of blood cancers and non-cancerous conditions – aplastic thalassemia and few types of hemoglobinopathies.
