Frequently Asked Questions

Hematologic cancer treatment is aimed at the treatment of blood, bone marrow, and lymph node cancer. Bone marrow transplant (BMT) is a complex process that involves replacing damaged or cancerous marrow with healthy stem cells. This treatment combines the best clinical regimens with personalised care to help a patient recover healthy blood production and immunity, under the guidance of a skilled doctor.

Hematologic oncology is a comprehensive approach to treating a wide variety of aggressive malignancies. Specialists deals in the management of Acute Leukaemias (AML, ALL), Chronic Leukemias, and other types of Lymphoma (Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin). Moreover, she practices Multiple Myeloma and plasma cell disorders, where she uses the most recent development in medicine to target cancer cells.

Depending on the donor source, modern medicine offers several transplant pathways. Doctors specialises in the Autologous transplants (with cells owned by the patient) and in the Allogeneic transplants (with donor cells). She is also trained in complex Matched Unrelated Donor (MUD) and Haplocordentical (half-matched) transplants, meaning that even patients without an ideal sibling match have an opportunity to be saved.

Transplantation is normally suggested in cases of aggressive, high-risk, or recurrent cancers, which take place after normal chemotherapy. In patients with remitting AML or ALL, or those with refractory Lymphoma, a transplant is the most effective opportunity of a long-term cure, and experts carefully consider the individual disease history of every patient to decide the most appropriate time to undergo such a procedure.

The AML and ALL treatment entails a high-precision treatment that begins with induction chemotherapy to destroy cancerous cells. This is then accompanied by consolidation therapy or a stem cell transplant to ensure recurrence is prevented under specialist care. Modern hematology treatment combines the use of targeted treatment and intense monitoring to treat acute as well as long-term management of leukaemia.

Multiple Myeloma and some types of lymphomas are frequently treated by Autologous transplant, generally after high-dose chemotherapy. Most cases of leukaemia and aplastic anaemia are good candidates for Allogeneic transplants, since a new immune system from a donor is required. All specialists are very skilful in selecting the right modality for a patient's unique disease and also considering their overall health condition.

Inherited disorders such as Thalassemia and Sickle Cell Anemia can be treated with advanced hematology care, which provides both progressive supportive management and curative solutions. A hematologist, is extensively experienced in curative bone marrow transplant, besides the conventional blood transfusions and chelation therapy. Such advanced therapeutic approaches can substantially deliver to patients a normal, transfusion-free life by replacing the defective blood-forming system with healthy donor cells.

A stem cell transplant is a procedure that introduces healthy blood, forming stem cells into the body to replace damaged bone marrow. It is mainly used to treat haematological malignancies and other non-cancerous conditions, such as Aplastic Anaemia and MDS.
