Types of Bone Marrow Transplant
Autologous transplant - A bone marrow transplant is done by transplanting healthy stem cells in place of diseased stem cells. These healthy stem cells can be taken from the patient too. When the transplanted healthy stem cells are taken from the patient, then that transplant is autologous. The cost of this transplant is $60,000 to $75,000.
Allogeneic transplant - When the healthy stem cells are obtained from a different person who is a match, usually they are the patient’s family members, that transplant is an allogeneic transplant. The cost of this transplant is around $75,000 to $90,000.
Umbilical cord blood transplant - The umbilical cord has stem cells and these can be preserved. When these cells are used for a bone marrow transplant then that transplant is called an umbilical cord blood transplant. This transplant costs around $90,000 to $100,000.
