Bone Marrow Transplants in Mexico
                                           Bone marrow transplants are a treatment used if your own
                                           bone marrow is unhealthy, which can be due to a disease
                                           such as cancer, or if your bone marrow has been destroyed
                                           due to the negative side effects of radiation or
                                           chemotherapy. Mexico is now a world leader when it comes
                                           to advances in bone marrow transplantation. The bone
                                           marrow transplant procedure in Mexico is also much less
                                           expensive, but without a compromise in standards.

Types of Bone Marrow Donations

The three types of bone marrow donation are autologous, allogeneic and umbilical cord.

Autologous

This is when bone marrow from your own stem cells are collected and stored until you need them.

Allogeneic

This is where stem cells are collected from the bone marrow of person who is a genetic match to you.

There are two ways of harvesting autologous and allogeneic stem cells. In a PBSC donation, the donor
is given drugs that make the bone marrow discharge stem cells into the blood. After this happens, the
blood is removed via an intravenous line. The stem cells are separated from the other blood products
by a machine and then the blood is returned to the donor.

In a bone marrow harvest, the donor is put under anesthesia and the bone marrow is harvested from
the hip bones.

Umbilical Cord

This is where stem cells are collected from the umbilical cord of a newborn and stored until you need
them.

So why are people going to Mexico for Bone Marrow Transplants?

The Bone Marrow Transplant procedure can be extremely expensive, often meaning that this treatment
is not an option for many. Due to the cheaper cost of facilities and materials in Mexico the bone marrow
transplant procedure costs significantly less. While a Bone Marrow Transplant may cost around
$800,000 - $900,000 in America, you can expect to spend around $200,000 in Mexico for the complete
procedure and aftercare. This does not come at a compromise of service and expertise however; many
of the doctors who specialise in bone marrow transplants have studied both in Mexico and the US.

When considering a Bone Marrow Transplant clinic in Mexico, you should look for clinics that are
members of the International Cellular Medicine Society, as this society ensures excellent practise
amongst Stem Cell practitioners.

Further from this it is important that you find somewhere that you are comfortable, as after the
procedure has been carried out it is important to have proper aftercare which can last for around a
month. Bone Marrow Transplants are also physically and emotionally exhausting; therefore you may
wish to bring a companion with you. Finding a hospital that accommodates for these needs is important,
and Mexico will provide you with many options.
