The Abu Dhabi Stem Cell Center has successfully launched bone marrow transplants in the UAE through the Abu Dhabi Bone Marrow Transplant Program "AD-BMT", which is usually used to treat patients with blood diseases and tumors. The first operation was performed on a patient with "myeloma" Multiple, ”a type of leukemia.
The fruit of this success came through cooperation between the Abu Dhabi Stem Cell Center and Sheikh Khalifa Medical City, and it is considered a progress for cancer patients, as they can now receive treatment inside the country, and reduce their suffering in traveling abroad to obtain cellular therapy and regenerative medicine for the treatment of cancer, which is the third reason For deaths in the Emirates.
Bone marrow transplants, or hematopoietic stem cells, are one of the most stem cell-based treatments for cancer patients, especially blood tumors.
The unique AD-BMT therapeutic procedure developed by ADSCC includes extracting stem cells from the patient's blood, which then undergoes a high dose of chemotherapy to eliminate all cancerous cells and most of the bone marrow .. Then the extracted stem cells are pumped Into the bloodstream, where destroyed cells return, and for two weeks, they resume production of healthy, non-malignant blood cells.
