My sister was diagnosed with Leukemia and doctors have advised Stem Transplant which can be done at specialist hospitals in India. Please tell us the cost of bone marrow transplants in such hospitals?

Cancer

Answered by Pankaj Kamble

Hello Oladapo,
Since Acute Myeloid leukaemia, Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and even Chronic myeloid leukemia usually require an allogeneic bone marrow transplant, therefore she will have to find an HLA match donor for the stem cell transplant. And then send all the tests, medical reports and HLA results, so the oncologist here can confirm the prognosis.
Siblings are the best candidate for stem cell donation in this case. So the cost of an allogeneic stem cell transplant in India is around 25,00,000($35,022) - 30,00,000 ($42,027). In case she requires an autologous stem cell transplant, it will cost around 15,00,000 ($21,013) - 17,00,000 ($23,652).
This could enhance your understanding of bone marrow transplant procedure - process you should follow to get Bone Marrow Transplant in India. Hope our answer helps. You can find hematologists on our page - Hematologists in Bangalore. Let us know if your city is different!

I am 49 years old. It has been a month now I have noticed that I have been experiencing pain and a burning sensation during urinating. I consulted with my gynec and she prescribed vaginal suppositories. Initially I got relief but then again it started. I feel the need to go to the washroom more frequently than usual. I am not diabetic. After all this, I didn't take it seriously. But for the last 2-3 days I had difficulties in holding it. Now I feel this is very serious because I am not old enough for this problem. I searched on the internet and found it could be a reason for bladder cancer. Is that so? Please refer to a good female doctor. I am perplexed about all these and it's making my life miserable.

Hi , don’t worry abt cancer and all.I feel it’s a urinary tract infection, get a urine routine microscopy test followed by urine culture and sensitivity.If urine routine report shows pus cells and bacteria then our diagnosis is confirmed. Visit a gynecologist with your reports.

Early signs of throat cancer can be persistent cough, throat irritation, wheezing, difficulty in swallowing, unexplained fatigue, weight loss and many more, but to treat any kind of disease you need to visit a doctor, don't come to a conclusion and don't try to treat it yourself.

Female | 23

That may be a symptom of the breast infection, cyst or even cancer. In this situation, a specialist to refer to is an oncologist or a breast surgeon. The application of warm compress might give just the temporary relief of the pain, but it is critical to see a doctor as soon as possible.

Male | 57

Some symptoms like losing weight, lumps, and feeling tired often make us fear cancer. But lots of other factors can also cause these signs. Weight changes, lumpy areas, constant fatigue – these might be worrisome, yet they don't necessarily mean cancer. Sure, cancer remains a possibility if symptoms persist. Many other reasons exist for such symptoms. If concerned, consult a doctor – they'll provide guidance.

I'm sorry if I bother you, if you don't mind me asking something related to lung cancer, I have a family member who is sick with lung cancer, it's in the fourth stage and he's very tired, he's lost weight and he won't eat anything, I'm from Kosovo and I went to Google to look for a specialist doctor for this disease to help me with at least a little of their experience with this disease and I'm wondering if you can help me and advise me on any herbal medicine that can help my family because even chemotherapy hasn't had any effect on them

Female | 48

Lung cancer can lead to symptoms like fatigue, weight loss, and decreased appetite. It is vital to prioritize your family member's comfort and nutrition. While some explore herbal remedies, these should complement, not replace, medical treatments. I strongly encourage you to consult a oncologist who can offer personalized advice and possibly adjust the treatment plan.

Hello, I want to know if breasts are removed in Breast Cancer surgeries, or are there any other methods in which there is no need of removing the whole breasts?

Female | 46

The biology and behavior of breast cancer will be considered for planning the treatment of breast cancer. Treatment options also depends on several factors like the tumor subtype, hormone receptor status, stage of the tumor, patient's age, general health, menopausal status, and preferences. The presence of known mutations in inherited breast cancer genes, such as BRCA1 or BRCA2. There are some general steps commonly preferred for treating early-stage and locally advanced breast cancer. Doctors generally recommend surgery to remove the tumor in breast. Though the goal of surgery is to remove all the cancer which is visible but microscopic cells sometimes remain behind. Therefore another surgery may be required. For cancers which are large or are rapidly growing, the clinician suggest systemic treatment with chemotherapy or hormonal therapy before surgery. This is called neo-adjuvant therapy. This helps in shrinking the tumor which is easy to operate; also breast can be preserved in some cases. After surgery it is important to check for recurrence. Then adjuvant therapy is advised. Adjuvant therapies may include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and/or hormonal therapy When surgery to remove the cancer is not possible, it is called inoperable, and then Chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation therapy, and/or hormonal therapy may be given to shrink the cancer. For recurrent cancer, treatment options depend on how the cancer was first treated and the characteristics of the cancer. What will be the line of treatment in your case will depend on your clinical condition. You can take one more opinion to a clear understanding of your concerns. Consult Cancer Treatment doctors in Mumbai, or any other city you find convenient.

Hello, I want to know about Proton therapy. Is it better and safer than other types of radiotherapy? Are there any side-effects of this therapy?

Proton therapy is more or less similar to radiation therapy, but its approach is more targeted. It delivers proton beams at cancer cells with better precision. Therefore the risk of damaging tissues around the tumor is lower than with standard radiation.

The treatment is suitable for cancers that involve tumors near sensitive parts of the body. But still consult Cancer Treatment doctors in Mumbai, or any other city, as it is finally treating clinician's decision to decide the best treatment for patient. Hope our answer helps you.
