Overview: Stem Cell Treatment

Stem cells are the body’s raw materials from which all other cells with specialized functions are generated. In an average person, stem cells divide to form more cells called daughter cells. These daughter cells have self-renewal ability to become new stem cells or become specialized cells i.e., ability to differentiate into specialized adult stem cells with a more specific function such as blood cells, brain cells, heart muscle cells or bone cells.

Stem cell treatment cost in India

The stem cell treatment in India depends upon:

• Class of doctor
• Type of Hospital
• Organ involved and
• Stem cell transplantation procedure
• Room category
• Hospital stay duration
• Additional medication or services availed

However, Stem cell treatment cost in India,  when compared with the cost in western or other medically advanced countries, is far too less and quite affordable.

Sources of stem cells

Stem cells when mature replace older and worn-out blood cells in the body. Stem cell treatment is considered as regenerative therapy, as it promotes the repair response of diseased, dysfunctional, or injured tissue by using stem cells.

Sources of stem cells in the human body can be:

• Bone Marrow
• Placenta
• Umbilical Cord
• Amniotic Fluid
• Dental Stem Cells
• Menstrual Fluid
• Adipose Tissue

When not possible to harvest stems cells from an individual’s body, these can be harvested from a donor with healthy stem cells. These highly specialized stem cells can be implanted into a person in the organ to treat the disease, injury and restore functionality.

If a person has heart disease, stem cells are injected, i.e. transplanted into the heart muscle for repairing defective heart muscle. The healthy transplanted heart muscle cells could then contribute to improving defective heart muscle.

Stem cell treatment is successfully used for addressing a variety of ailments/disorders such as:

Bone Marrow Disorders:

• Aplastic Anemia
• Leukemia
• Thalassemia
• Myelodysplasticsyndromes  (MDS)

Degenerative and other Disorders:

• Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
• Alzheimer’s Disease
• Anti-Aging Autism,
• Parkinson's Disease,
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Cancer Treatment (using Dendritic Cells)
• Cancer Treatment (using NK Cells)
• Liver Cirrhosis,
• Cardiovascular Disorders
• Chronic Kidney Disorders
• Liver disease
• Diabetes
• Erectile Dysfunction
• Hair Loss and Hair Transplant
• Cerebral Palsy
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Muscular Dystrophy
• Osteoarthritis
• Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Spinal Cord Injury
• Rotator Cuff Tears
• Retinal Diseases
• Vitiligo

Stem cells for regeneration and repair of tissues are derived from some of the rich sources of stem cells like:

• Placenta
• Umbilical Cord
• Amniotic Fluid
• Dental Stem Cells
• Menstrual Fluid
• Adipose Tissue
• Bone Marrow

What is the procedure of stem cell treatment?

Stem cell treatment is a complex process that encompasses harvesting, storage, and implantation from the patient’s body or a healthy donor.

Before stem cell transplantation, the patient is given ‘Conditioning Treatment’ under which the patient receives high doses of chemotherapy to prepare the body for transplantation.

Sometime, radiation therapy may also be required during ‘Conditioning Treatment.’

The collected stem cells are infused into the patient’s bloodstream from where they travel to the bone marrow to begin the process of ‘Engraftment’ for forming new, healthy blood cells i.e. White Blood Cells (WBCs), Red Blood Cells (RBCs) and Platelets.

Benefits of stem cell

There can be many benefits that can be reaped with stem cell treatments.

The most beneficial part is that stem cells can be:

• Easy to obtain – during the birth of your child - whether it is a normal delivery or a cesarean section along with the cord and cord blood, without any added inconvenience in a non-invasive procedure
• Stored and banked
• Used for the entire family for treatment by the baby's siblings, parents or even grandparents

The stem cell treatment is safe, speedy, and often completed within a day or two with far better results than long and ineffective conventional therapies.

Why choose India for treatment?

• Patients requiring stem cell treatment choose India due to:
• Highly skilled and knowledgeable doctors
• World-class hospitals
• Use of latest technology
• Impeccable pre and post-treatment care
• Ease of visa, for international patients
• Affordable yet high-quality hotel accommodation
