Stem Cell Transplant
Stem cell transplant or bone marrow transplant is a method in which your body would receive healthy stem cells in the replacement of damaged ones. Before starting, you need to get a high dose of chemotherapy to remove as many cancerous cells as possible. After that, the doctor will infuse stem cells into your bloodstream, which eventually travels to your bone marrow to form new healthy blood cells. It can be a very effective treatment option for people with relapsed multiple myeloma. However, this is also a risky procedure that is not suitable for everyone. In general, stem cell transplant is not recommended for older people and those with liver, kidney, as well as heart issues. [4]
