Bone Marrow Transplantation
Bone Marrow Transplant, also known as Stem Cell Transplant, is a procedure in which diseased bone marrow is replaced by healthy blood forming stem cells.
Bone marrow transplant has been successfully used to treat many diseases, specifically blood cancers like leukemias, lymphomas.
Bone Marrow Transplant can be used to replace damaged & non-functioning bone marrow with healthy functioning cells in diseases like leukaemia, aplastic anaemic & sick cell anemia.
Bone Marrow Transplant can also be used to regenerate a new immune system that can fight leukaemia or other cancers that are not killed by radiation or chemotherapy.
Bone Marrow Transplant can also be used to replace bone marrow & restore its normal function after high doses of radiation or chemotherapy are administered to treat a malignancy.
Chemotherapy is the most commonly used treatment approach for most forms of cancer. It is a drug treatment that destroys rapidly growing cells in the body.
There are many types of chemotherapy drugs available for treatment for different cancers. This treatment approach can be a standalone treatment or be used in combination with other methods like radiation & surgery.
Chemotherapy is most often used to kill cancer cells in patients suffering from various cancers.
Chemotherapy can be a standalone treatment option for patients who are not suitable for surgery or other treatment methods.
In most surgical cancer cases, there is a likelihood of certain harmful cells being left out. This is where chemotherapy comes in to destroy the remaining cancer cells.
Cancer Immunotherapy or immuno-oncology is a promising & evolving treatment approach for cancer that uses the power of body’s own immune system to fight cancer.
Utilising the power of immune system is an excellent way to fight cancer. Here are few reasons why immunotherapy is a good treatment option for cancer patients.
- This therapy is precise & highly targeted. As such healthy cells are not adversely impacted.
- Just like cancer, the immune system can adapt continuously & dynamically.
- Our immune system has a memory that allows it to remember what cancer cells look like. This helps the immune system to target & eliminate the cancer in case of recurrence.
Certain cancers rely on growth of hormones. In other words, certain types of cancers are fuelled by these hormones.
In such cases, hormone therapy, also known as hormonal therapy or endocrine therapy, can be effective in slowing down or completely stopping the spread of cancer by blocking the body’s ability to produce certain hormones or altering the behaviour of hormone receptors in the body.
Cancers most commonly treated with Hormone therapy include :
- Breast Cancer
- Endometrial Cancer
- Ovarian cancer
- Prostate Cancer
Genetic counselling offers you a way to learn how likely you are to develop cancer. This is useful for individuals who have close family members affected by this disease.
Interestingly, only 5 to 10% of all cancers are linked to genes. In most cases, genetic testing may be required only when certain types of cancer run in a family and a problem with a gene is known to be the cause.
Genetic counsellors will:
- Evaluate the individual's personal & family cancer history
- Analyse individual's inherited cancer risk
- Simplify the concepts of genetics & hereditary cancer risks
- Empower the individual to make an informed decision
- Address the individual's queries & concerns

Cancer patient management during the Covid-19 pandemic
As I think about writing this article during the third and probably last COVID wave, I cannot forget the guilt and helplessness I faced in my clinic today, about an elderly woman who presented with an incurable breast cancer due to delay in access to proper medical care during COVID lockdown...
