Types of Donor
Autologous transplant - Sometimes, the donor of the healthy stem cells is the patient, as there is a possibility in some cases that not all the bone marrow in the patient’s body is damaged or diseased. The healthy stem cells can be collected and the rest of the damaged bone marrow is eliminated through chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Then the healthy stem cells are transplanted into the patient’s body. This type of transplant will cost around $ 36,000 to 48,000.
Allogeneic transplant - The donor of the healthy stem cells is a family member of the patient who is also a genetic match for the patient. Siblings and parents are the family members who usually donate stem cells. This transplant will cost around $48,000 to 60,000.
