Over eight weeks, doctors and nurses receive theoretical training and hands-on guidance on the autologous stem cell transplant procedure at the Stem Cell Transplant Department, in the Stem Cell Bank of the Institute. Autologous stem cell transplantation involves the collection and storage of the patient's own stem cells, which are then reinfused to restore hematopoietic tissue. Successful implementation of autologous stem cell transplantation necessitates meticulous preparation and collaboration with experts. During the first transplant procedure, the Institute's experienced staff directly supervised and performed tasks such as stem cell separation, stem cell transfusion, and close monitoring of the patient's progress. These sources include different types of stem cells, such as cord blood stem cell transplants (both with matching and non-matching blood types) and half-matching transplants (haplotype transplants) combined with cord blood stem cells.
