According to research, you can live for approximately 5 years. The patients who have completed 5 years of survival without any sign or symptoms can expect survival of further 15 years.

In the prognosis of a bone marrow transplant, there is quite variability dependent upon several factors such as condition being treated , patient’s health and success rate. Many patients survive for many years after the transplant, with some seeing it as possibly curative. Regular follow-up care with a transplant specialist is essential in order to monitor for complications and provide the appropriate ongoing management. These specialists can provide the most precise prognosis due to individual conditions and recent innovations in treatment. Post transplant, it is imperative to have regular medical care and monitoring of health.

Life after the stem cell transplant also varies greatly and depends on many factors such as medical condition prior to the operation, age of patient, general health status before when during and after it was done with good results. Stem cell transplants are capable of leading to very long-standing remission or even cure for a few diseases, mainly hematological malignancies in such situations. However, implantation as a procedure itself is associated with risks and complications; results vary for each individual. First and foremost, close monitoring by well-trained doctors assisting in post transplant care as well as regular follow up is essential for optimizing long term outcomes.

Autologous stem cell transplant death rate?

Male | 56

The mortality rate for autologous stem cell transplants can differ based on a number of variables that include the patient’s general health, condition treated and specific procedure details. This is why it’s crucial to discuss such issues with a hematologist-oncologist or transplant specialist who can provide personalized details based on the actual medical case. They may present possible data and evaluate the risks-benefits according to separate health condition of this patient or form of treatment for certain illness. It is important to have a broad understanding from an expert in this area.

What symptoms would indicate that the treatment might not be successful?

Male | 59

If the treatment doesn't seem to be working, some diagnostics to keep an eye out for are if your symptoms don't improve or actually get worse, if new symptoms emerge that weren't present earlier, or if you experience side effects from the treatment. These things could be the indications that the specific therapy is not your cup of tea. In such cases, it's crucial to the doctor to discuss other alternative solutions that may suit you better.

Bone marrow transplant age range can be different depending on several factors including overall health state, medical conditions they have and the one being done. It is generally true that persons aged up to 70 years or more can be considered for autologous bone marrow transplants, meaning it uses an individual’s own cells.

Why is esr raised in multiple myeloma?

Female | 30

The disease process of multiple myeloma has several factors that cause elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate ESR. First of all, abnormal proteins produced by myeloma cells or rather immunoglobulins and their components may cause the increase in blood viscosity which leads to an increased ESR. Myeloma cells can cause inflammation and increase the secretion of some proteins that influence sedimentation rate. The effect of the disease on marrow function, and in particular its overproduction with plasma cells may also impact ESR levels. Elevated levels of the ESR are quite general in pricing an infection and can act as a predictor to determine how much myeloma-related irregularities is presently affecting one’s body. Monitoring of ESR regularly with other clinical parameters helps to evaluate disease progression and the patient’s response to treatment in multiple myeloma.
