Blood and Marrow Stem Cell Transplant Center

The Blood and Marrow Stem Cell Transplant Center at Wattanosoth Hospital specializes in providing comprehensive care for patients with hematologic malignancies and bone marrow disorders. The center aims to offer a holistic approach to treatment, considering both the physical and mental aspects of patients' well-being.  

Here are the key aspects of the center: 

Superiority: 

• The center has an advanced sterilization room with positive pressure, creating a controlled environment to reduce the risk of infections during treatment. Patients are treated in isolation rooms equipped with special air filters. 

• Highly trained and specialized hematologists with expertise in all types of bone marrow transplant, including autologous transplant (self-donated), allogeneic transplant using a matched donor, and haploidentical transplant (allogeneic transplant using a half-matched donor). 

Services: 

• The center provides comprehensive services for various hematologic malignancies, including leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). 

• Non-malignant blood disorders such as thalassemia and aplastic anemia are also treated at the center. 

Advances in Technology and Treatment Approaches: 

• Bone marrow and stem cell transplants are effective treatment methods for hematologic malignancies. These transplants restore the body's ability to produce new blood cells after achieving complete remission through high-dose chemotherapy and/or radiation. 

• The experienced hematologists at the center have expertise in monitoring and managing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), which can occur after a stem cell or bone marrow transplant. Effective management of GVHD reduces the chances of treatment failure and mortality. 

• Timely treatment and appropriate management increase the chances of cure for blood cancers, especially when patients receive comprehensive care at specialized centers. 

Preparation for Treatment: 

• Prior to bone marrow and stem cell transplant, patients undergo a series of tests and procedures to assess their general health and evaluate the status of their conditions. This ensures that they are physically prepared for the transplant. 

• It is crucial for patients to have a clear understanding of the transplant requirements, treatment processes, and expected outcomes. They are informed about possible side effects and complications that may arise during the treatment, such as infections, adverse drug reactions, and graft-versus-host disease. 

• Close supervision and appropriate management of these potential side effects and complications are essential throughout the treatment process. 

Important Notice: 

• Treatment at the center involves a series of laboratory tests and procedures to ensure that patients are physically eligible for high-dose chemotherapy as part of the transplant. Patients may need to stay in the sterilization rooms for an extended period, typically around a month or longer in some cases, to receive treatment.
