Senior Consultant, Paediatric Haematology, Oncology and Blood & Marrow Transplantation, Chennai

Bone marrow transplantation (BMT), or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, has transformed the outcomes of many malignant and non-malignant hematological disorders. However, understanding which patients may benefit, when to refer, and what transplantation entails remains essential for clinicians across specialties.

In this session, Dr Vimal Kumar will provide a practical overview of bone marrow transplantation, addressing the fundamental questions of what BMT is, who should be considered for transplantation, and when referral is most appropriate. The discussion will cover common indications, donor selection, transplant pathways, potential complications, and evolving advances in the field. Designed for practicing clinicians, the session aims to demystify BMT and facilitate timely identification and referral of eligible patients.
