We provide professional support in Bone Marrow Transplantation Center.
Bone marrow is a spongy material found in the hollow
centers of some bones. It is important as it contains special cells known as
stem cells.
Stem cells create other specialized cells that carry out
important functions. Stem cells in bone marrow produce three important types of
blood cell:
Red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body
White blood cells, which help fight infection
platelets, which help stop bleeding
Bone marrow transplantation (also known as stem
cell transplantation) involves harvesting healthy stem cells to replenish
the bone marrow of the patient. The new stem cells take over the
production of the blood cells.
In some circumstances, it may be possible to take your own bone marrow from another part of your body
(this is known as autologous transplantation). The bone marrow may be cleared
of any diseased cells before being returned.
a physical examination of your body and general state of health
obtaining the stem cells that will be used in the transplant (known as harvesting)
preparing your body for the transplant (known as conditioning)
transplanting the stem cells
the recovery period, during which you will be monitored for any side effects and complications
Stem cell transplantations are often required to treat
conditions that have damaged the bone marrow which, as a result, can no
longer produce normal blood cells. Any disruption to the production of blood
cells can be very serious, particularly if:
You do not have enough red blood cells. Your body will be
starved of oxygen, you will feel faint and tired and damage to your organs may
occur.
You do not have enough white blood cells. You have a
much higher risk of developing a serious infection.
You do not have enough platelets, which means you
will bruise and bleed more easily.
Some of the conditions that can affect blood and bone marrow are described below.
Leukemia is cancer of the white blood cells. The cancer
causes the white blood cells to replicate in an uncontrollable manner and they
do not develop any infection-fighting properties.
The cancerous cells can quickly spread through the bloodstream, resulting in a lack of room for red blood cells
and platelets.
This leads to symptoms of anemia, increases the risk of serious infection, and means that you will bruise
and bleed more easily.
Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is another type of cancer of
the white blood cells. However, rather than spreading through the bloodstream,
it spreads through the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is a series of
connected glands (nodes) that are spread throughout your body. It is an
important part of your immune system, the body’s natural defense against
infection.
There are a number of genetic blood disorders where
alterations (mutations) in your genes mean that blood cells do not develop
normally. These include sickle cell anemia and thalassemia, both of which
interfere with the production of red blood cells.
The recipient of the transplant is in relatively good
health, despite their associated condition (which is why stem cell transplants
are often done when cancer is in remission)
Stem cells are available from a brother or sister with
the same tissue type, which reduces the chances of the transplant being
rejected, or graft versus host disease
The associated condition is not responding to other forms
of treatment or it is felt that there is a high risk of the condition
recurring without a transplant
it is felt that the benefits of a transplant outweigh the
risks
Over the years, many patients diagnosed with leukemia,
lymphoma, myelodysplasia, multiple myeloma
and other blood cancers or disorders have come
to Yeditepe University Hospital for its great line of service and
medical treatment with today’s latest techniques, technology and the region’s
most experienced physicians.
Yeditepe University Hospitals have been serving since 26 August 2005 , with their infrastructure equipped with superior technology and smart systems . It carries out important studies to train new and successful physicians with its staff consisting of professors and associate professors who have many success in national and international fields. At the basis of the vision of Yeditepe University Hospitals is to represent Turkey in the international arena and to bring our country to a leading position in the medical world.
Yeditepe University Hospitals Imaging Unit ‘ n Located Multi-slice CT (multislice computed tomography), 3 Tesla MRI, PET-CT (cancerous tissues that detects, scans) and Gamma Camera, which provides diagnostic and greater ease of treatment are some of the devices with advanced technology in the world.
In Yeditepe University Hospitals, where computer technology is used very effectively, Hospital Information System (HIS) software is used. This software enables both patient information to be collected and processed quickly and used in diagnosis and treatment, as well as the presentation and storage of patient information such as imaging and laboratory results in a computer environment. With this system, our doctors can monitor their patients electronically while they are out of the hospital. In addition, this system minimizes paper circulation and bureaucracy, and eliminates time wasted by patients and their relatives.
Yeditepe University Hospitals and Affiliated Institutions were accredited by JCI (Joint Commission International) , which is recognized as the most important institution in the world in terms of health standards, on November 2, 2007 , with its entire system in the first audit, with all standards. In other words, it became the first Turkish university hospital group to document its quality and success at an international level.
Yeditepe University Hospital and Affiliated Institutions, which has been registered to serve at world standards with this quality certificate given to the most distinguished health institutions of the world, is determined to walk to the future with greater success, based on pioneering and leadership principles. Yeditepe University Hospitals were accredited by JCI for the fourth time in 2017 , proving that their quality is sustainable.
Yeditepe University Hospitals provide services to their patients in all branches; has an international reputation in the field of neurosurgery ( neurosurgery ). It is one of the leading institutions of the health sector with its bone marrow transplant , kidney transplant , obesity surgery , epilepsy and epilepsy surgery , cardiology , cardiovascular surgery , urology , general surgery , high level genetic diagnosis center laboratory and many branches of pediatric diseases .
