Patient's question:
Doctor, is it necessary to have multiple bone marrow transplants? Is it good for the body to do more? Is it necessary to do more, and I hope you can explain it.Doctor's answer:
In leukemia, only M3 does not require transplantation, as the success rate of phototherapy is very high. Of course, there are other cases that can be treated with chemotherapy, but they are very rare. If it is chronic myeloid leukemia, medication can initially control it. If conditions permit, it is still recommended to undergo transplantation. Transplantation is performed in a sterile chamber, where a course of high-dose chemotherapy is first administered, followed by the infusion of stem cells. The patient stays in the chamber for about a month before being discharged. They then need to stay in the hospital for a period of time, the length of which depends on the individual's condition. If you are considering surgery, I advise you to consult a doctor in detail and ensure you have a suitable match.
