What the procedure involves.
Bone marrow transplantation (hematopoietic stem cell transplant) in China is performed at nationally designated transplant centers with extensive experience in both autologous and allogeneic transplants. Chinese hematologists have pioneered haploidentical (half-matched) transplant techniques that have achieved internationally recognized outcomes. China's large donor registry and advanced HLA typing capabilities facilitate donor matching for international patients.
Step by step.
Pre-Transplant Evaluation
Comprehensive workup including bone marrow biopsy, HLA typing, organ function tests, infection screening, and donor search or autologous stem cell harvest planning.
Conditioning Regimen
High-dose chemotherapy (and possibly radiation) to destroy diseased bone marrow and suppress the immune system in preparation for transplant. This is performed in a sterile laminar airflow ward.
Stem Cell Infusion
Donor or autologous stem cells are infused intravenously, similar to a blood transfusion. The cells migrate to the bone marrow space and begin producing new blood cells (engraftment) over 2-4 weeks.
Post-Transplant Monitoring
Close monitoring for graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), infections, and organ function. Immunosuppressive medications are carefully managed. Patients remain near the hospital for 1-3 months after transplant.
- 60-80% cost savings compared to bone marrow transplant in the US
- Pioneering haploidentical transplant techniques with excellent outcomes
- Experienced transplant centers performing hundreds of procedures annually
- Large donor registry and advanced HLA typing capabilities
- Graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) — a major complication of allogeneic transplant
- Severe infection risk during immune-suppressed period
- Organ toxicity from conditioning regimen (liver, kidneys, lungs)
- Extended stay in China required (2-3 months minimum for monitoring)
