Which Diseases are Hematopoietic Stem Cells Used in the Treatment of?

Hematopoietic stem cell therapy can be used for the treatment of many blood diseases such as childhood leukemias, bone marrow diseases and hereditary blood diseases by transplanting hematopoietic stem cells from the person self or a compatible / semi-compatible donor to the sick person.

Stem cell therapy can often be used in the treatment process of the following diseases, with the guidance of the Ministry of Health.
  • Bone Marrow Cancers
  • Lymphoma
  • Hodgkin Lymphoma
  • Leukemia
  • Anemia
  • Mediterranean Anemia
  • Plasma Cell Diseases
  • Bone Marrow Deficiency
  • Multiple Myeloma
  • Hereditary and Congenital Blood Diseases
  • Diseases Due to Immunodeficiency
  • Hereditary Metabolic Diseases

Which Diseases are Mesenchymal Stem Cells Used in the Treatment of?

In the light of new developments in the field of stem cells, mesenchymal stem cell therapy can be applied to cure many diseases. It is becoming a method that can be used in the treatment of many patients of appropriate age and physical characteristics, especially in the fields of orthopedics, neurology, ophthalmology and traumatology.

As a result of scientific research, significant developments have been made in the use of stem cells for the treatment of diseases with a progressive course such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, type1-2 Diabetes, ALS, MS, as well as many neurological diseases such as stroke due to spinal cord injuries and cerebral vascular occlusion. Thanks to many such newly discovered properties of mesenchymal stem cells, it is expected that stem cell treatments will be applied to these diseases in the near future. In addition to these, the use of mesenchymal stem cells is widely practiced after the development of tissue incompatibility disease (GVHD) after tissue and organ transplants.

In the light of rapidly advancing scientific and technological researches, the content of the answers to the questions of what is stem cell therapy and in which diseases stem cell therapy is effective is increasing day by day.
