Detailed explanation-1: -BMT, also known as bone marrow transplant or stem cell transplant, is the only known cure for SCD. It replaces the unhealthy blood-forming cells (stem cells) with healthy ones. Allogeneic transplant is used for SCD.
Detailed explanation-2: -Can Bone Marrow Transplant Cure Blood Cancer Permanently? Blood malignancy can now be permanently treated with a bone marrow transplant. In addition to replacing damaged bone marrow cells, a bone marrow transplant also aids in the replacement of malignant bone marrow precursor cells with healthy bone marrow cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Costs can vary depending on region and hospital. The total costs of a stem cell transplant are typically $350, 000-$800, 000, depending on whether the procedure is autologous, meaning some of the patient’s own marrow or stem cells are used, or allogeneic, meaning cells are harvested from a donor.
