Recent researches on oncology and hematology have proved that transplantation of stem cells can cure the diseases. Diseases like cancer, bone marrow is caused as the white blood cell stops to regenerate. The stem cells found in all multi cellular organisms helps to regenerate the cell type. Hence, the importance of the stem cell in the field of medical science is very vital. The first bone marrow transplant was performed in 1959 by a French oncologist called Georges Mathe. The transplant was experimented on six Yugoslavian nuclear workers whose marrows were damaged by irradiation. Later it has been seen that the process of transplant is mentionable in the treatment of leukemia. The treatment with stem cell involves introducing new cells in damaged tissues to treat the disease.
Stem cell transplant involves mixing of the healthy stem cells into the body. A Stem cell transplant happens when the bone marrow doesn’t work or it stops producing healthy stem cells. Once the transplant takes place, the body may start producing enough white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets. Thus, this can give you a diseases free life. The entire process of transplant is commonly known as bone marrow transplant. Stem cell transplant cab use the stem cells of the own body or it may use from some donor. The whole process of Stem cell transplant has proved beneficial to many people. The diseases is all about the tissue and cells been damaged. Even the disease includes non production of the blood cells. The Stem cell transplant has helped both cancerous and non cancerous patients.
In case of an Aplastic anemia, which is a case of non cancerous diseases, the bone marrow doesn’t make enough of new blood cells. Here when Stem cell transplant is done, it first destroys the dysfunctional marrow with the most effective drugs. Once the dysfunctional marrow is destroyed, healthy stem cells are introduced to the body. If everything goes well, the injected marrow starts working normally in the human body. In case of a cancerous body, we require to get rid of the bone marrow of cancer cells. Then healthy stem cells are transplanted, further normal cell production can resume. The transplanted cell helps in curing the disease.
Stem cell transplantation, which is abbreviated as SCT, is a medical process, which helps to save millions of lives. It cures several malignant and non malignant diseases. It has been proved that more than 40,000 Stem cell transplantation which are being performed in a year annually. The techniques is the whole process of Stem cell transplantation includes many things like the stage of the disease, age of the patient, body immunity, facilities available. Here we talk about facilities as all countries and health centers cannot have all facilities. Moreover, one can avail the best of facility with a good amount of money. Stem cell transplantation may be taken from the patient or a donor. Medical practitioners advise donors to be a family member or most preferably siblings.
