Types of Bone Marrow Transplant
Autologous transplant - Healthy stem cells from the patient are collected and then transplanted in place of the diseased bone marrow. The diseased stem cells are eliminated by a heavy dose of chemotherapy or radiation therapy from the body of the patient. $100,000 to $120,000 is the amount that this transplant will cost you.
Allogeneic transplant - The healthy stem cells are collected from the family members of the patient who are a match for them. The diseased bone marrow of the patient is eliminated by chemotherapy and radiation therapy. This type of transplant is called an allogeneic transplant. $120,000 to $140,000 is the amount that this transplant will cost you.
Umbilical cord blood transplant - The umbilical cord of a newborn has many stem cells. These stem cells can be preserved and can be used in a bone marrow transplant to replace the damaged stem cells of the body. $140,000 to $160,000 is the amount that this transplant will cost you.
