Leukaemia Treatment in India

• Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia is the commonest
  childhood cancer. This arises from abnormalities
  in the precursors of normal lymphocytes which are
  otherwise a normal part of our immune system
  necessary to fight infections. These abnormal
  cells rapidly fill up the bone marrow space
  suppressing the normal cells.
• In most cases, the disease is characterized by
  certain abnormalities in the chromosomes which pro
  mote abnormal growth of certain lymphoid
  cells rather than maturation to normal
  lymphocytes.

Myeloma Treatment in India

• Multiple Myeloma goes through 3 stages
• MGUS (Monoclonal Gammopathy of Uncertain
  Significance) This is diagnosed when a patient
  is found to have an abnormal immunoglobulin in
  small amounts without any symptoms or involvement
  of any organs.
• Indolent Myeloma This is diagnosed when the
  diagnostic workup fulfils the criteria of MM but
  the patient is asymptomatic.
• Symptomatic Myeloma when along with the above
  the patient is symptomatic.

Lymphoma Treatment in India

• Lymphoma begins when B cells, T cells, or NK
  cells in the lymphatic system change and grow
  uncontrollably, which sometimes may form a tumor.
• Because lymphatic tissue is found in most parts
  of the body, NHL can start almost anywhere and
  can spread to almost any organ. It most often
  begins in the lymph nodes, liver, spleen, or bone
  marrow, but it can also involve the stomach,
  intestines, skin, thyroid gland, brain, or any
  other part of the body. It is very important to
  know which type and subtype has been diagnosed
  because this information helps doctors determine
  the best treatment and a patients prognosis
  (chance of recovery).

Sickle Cell Anemia Treatment in India

• Complete Blood Count and PERIPHERAL Blood
  Smear The characteristic finding of SCD is
  circulating sickle shaped red cells. Routine
  examination of the blood gives the diagnosis.
• Reticulocytosis i.e. increase in young red blood
  cells is almost always seen.
• Hemoglobin Electrophoresis This is the
  cornerstone of diagnosis and is used to detect
  Hemoglobin S. HbA2 and often HbF are increased in
  patient with sickle cell-B thalassemia. Despite
  high level of HbF at birth, electrophoresis can
  detect HbS in the newborn.

Bone Marrow Transplant in India

• Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) also called as Stem
  Cell Transplant is a procedure to replace damaged
  or destroyed bone marrow of a patientwith healthy
  bone marrow stem cells of the donor. It is the
  soft, fatty tissue inside your bones which
  produces blood cells. Stem cells are immature
  cells in the bone marrow that give rise to all of
  your different blood cells. BMT procedure
  involves transplanting blood stem cells, which
  travel to the bone marrow where they produce new
  blood cells and promote growth of new marrow
  which in turn give a normal healthy life to the
  patient.

Stem Cell Transplant in India

• Stem Cell Donation, Firstly the donor should be
  the BEST MATCH for the patient which is
  identified by Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)
  Typing Test and secondly the donor needs to be
  MEDICALLY FIT to be able to donate.
• STEPS in PBSC (Stem Cell) Donation
• It is a non-surgical procedure performed in
  outpatient hospital facility, wherein
  donors blood is removed through a catheter (a
  thin, flexible plastic tube) and circulated into
  a blood cell separator machine called as Stem
  Cell Apheresis Device.
• This Apheresis Device filters out the STEM CELLS
  from the Donor's Blood is transferred to a
  collection bag the remaining Blood (plasma, red
  blood cells, and platelets) is injected back into
  the donor with another catheter.
