In a remarkable medical achievement, doctors at Apex Hospital have successfully performed a haploidentical allogeneic bone marrow transplant, giving new life to a high-risk blood cancer patient. Under the expert supervision of Haematologist and BMT Physician Dr. Ashish Verma, the team performed this advanced procedure using only 50% matched stem cells from the patient's brother.

Dr. Ashish Verma explained that in many cases, patients struggle to find fully matched stem cell donors. In such situations, haploidentical allogeneic BMT is a highly effective alternative. This advanced technique is currently available at only a few select hospitals in the state and delivers promising results.

The procedure involved chemotherapy to eliminate the patient’s old bone marrow, followed by the infusion of stem cells from the partially matched donor. After undergoing the transplant, the patient has made a full recovery and has been discharged, now leading a healthy life.

Dr. Ashish Verma emphasized that this breakthrough is a boon for patients who cannot find fully matched donors, offering them a life-saving treatment option.

This milestone reinforces Apex Hospital’s commitment to providing cutting-edge medical treatments and advancing healthcare solutions for critical illnesses like blood cancer.
