"I am very happy for getting to know BOOKIMED, professionals really work there, and most importantly, they are not indifferent people

I have breast cancer and I went through chemotherapy in Moscow. Six sessions have passed. It was very difficult to tolerate these procedures. A doctor in Kazakhstan said that this is enough, it is necessary to switch to tableted chemistry. And Moscow offered to continue doing chemotherapy. Opinions are divided. It was necessary to find a third party. I accidentally found your site on the Internet. Ekaterina Koliko wrote very quickly. The benevolence of Katyusha was immediately arranged towards her. She asked me what I would like to go to. I said that I want to go to the Severance clinic in Korea. Katyusha approved my choice. I sent all the necessary documents and Katyusha quickly redirected everything to the clinic. They began to wait for the invitation. For some reason (and for what I already knew in the clinic), there was no invitation. I am very grateful to Katyusha that she was in touch all the time, supported me, gave me hope. We arrived in Seoul in the morning, we were met by a transfer, brought to the hotel. After lunch, they were already in the clinic, I began to take tests. Constantly with me was one of the translators. Girls translators are great fellows, these are Lida, Olesya, Sofia, Tatyana, Alena. Any question could be addressed, they always prompted. They are professionals. Always with a smile, polite, with enormous patience, and most importantly, they understand that they work with a special audience, with people who did not come to rest. Someone to find out the diagnosis, and someone to do the operation. Thank you so much to the girls. The clinic was impressive. Doctors are professionals. The equipment is super. I got the opinion of a third party, it coincided with the opinion of a doctor from Kazakhstan. I was prescribed a prescription, I bought medicines at the pharmacy and started drinking on arrival home. I also want to write about Darina, who was engaged in transfer (the transfer to the clinic was very convenient and met and carried out), the selection of the hotel was also always in touch, and if I had any questions, she quickly answered them. I want to say that I am very happy for getting to know BOOKIMED, professionals really work there, and most importantly, they are not indifferent people. I am grateful to the Almighty and all who were near me. And the words of the doctor gave me inspiration and inspired great hope, for the sake of these words it was worth a long way to go. Once again, many thanks to all.

My recommendations to friends, acquaintances only this Clinic! The prices are reasonable

Good day! I would like to share my impressions of being in the clinic. Thanks to the coordinators, the staff of the international clinic center, all wishes were taken into account. Special thanks to the attending physician, the procedure was perfect, the staff is very attentive, courteous. They are located in a 5-bed room, but at the same time there is no discomfort, food can be chosen taking into account personal taste preferences (Korean, European cuisine) and at the same time satisfying and varied. I can say one thing, there is no limit to my gratitude, my recommendations to friends, acquaintances only this Clinic! The prices are reasonable.

Our Bone marrow transplantation Techniques: What Suits You Best?

When considering Bone marrow transplantation, it’s important to understand the different techniques and which is best suited for you. Here’s a concise comparison of popular options:

Autologous Bone Marrow Transplantation

This procedure involves collecting stem cells from a patient's own bone marrow, processing them, and reinfusing to aid in recovery, especially for cancer treatment, with minimal rejection risk.

Pros: Minimal risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) as it uses the patient's cells. No need for donor matching, making it suitable for certain blood disorders and cancers.

Cons: Requires general anesthesia for cell collection, potentially causing pain and fatigue. Higher relapse rates in some cancers compared to donor transplants.

Effectiveness: Increases survival rates and quality of life in blood-related cancers and disorders.

Duration: 3-5 hours.

Recovery: 1-3 months for initial recovery, full immune recovery up to 12 months.

Best for: Blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma; beneficial when chemotherapy is insufficient.

Haploidentical Stem Cell Transplantation

Involves using stem cells from a half-matched donor, typically a family member, to treat various blood disorders and cancers.

Pros: Availability of donor is higher due to partial match requirement, covering 50% of potential related donors. Reduced waiting time for suitable donor compared to unrelated allogenic transplants.

Cons: Higher risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) compared to fully matched donors, with around 30% incidence rate. Requires more intense conditioning regimens.

Effectiveness: 60-80% success rate in achieving engraftment and remission in certain blood cancers.

Duration: 4-6 hours for the procedure itself.

Recovery: 3-6 months for full recovery and immune reconstitution.

Best for: Patients with leukemia and other hematological malignancies lacking a fully matched donor. Suitable for urgent transplant needs.

Allogenic Bone Marrow Transplantation from an Unrelated Donor

This procedure involves transplanting stem cells from a donor who is not genetically related to the recipient, used primarily for treating blood-related diseases.

Pros: Offers a wider donor pool, increasing chances of finding a match. Provides a potential cure for conditions where related donors are unavailable.

Cons: Higher risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) compared to related donor transplants. Requires stringent donor matching, potentially delaying treatment.

Effectiveness: Success rates vary but can be as high as 60-70% in certain conditions.

Duration: The procedure typically takes 1 day for infusion, with 2-4 weeks for engraftment.

Recovery: Recovery period can last 3-6 months, with full immune system recovery taking up to a year.

Best for: Suitable for leukemia, lymphoma, and other serious blood disorders where a related donor is not available.

Allogenic Bone Marrow Transplantation from a Related Donor

This procedure involves transferring healthy stem cells from a closely matched family member to replace damaged bone marrow in patients with certain diseases.

Pros: Higher success rates due to better donor matching with a related donor, reducing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) risks. Engraftment is typically faster with 70-90% success.

Cons: Requires a compatible family donor; there is a risk of GVHD despite close matching. Availability of a suitable donor can be limited.

Effectiveness: Success rate is 70-90% with related donors.

Duration: 1-2 hours for the procedure, with additional days for preparation and recovery.

Recovery: Initial recovery takes 3-6 weeks; complete recovery can take several months.

Best for: Blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma, and certain genetic disorders. Ideal for patients with a suitable family donor.
