It may use the patient's own cells (autologous) or cells from a donor (allogeneic), including a matched sibling or a haploidentical (half-matched) family donor. Dr Prakash Singh Shekhawat provides BMT care in Jaipur as Head of the BMT & CAR-T Program at BMCHRC. - [CAR-T Cell Therapy](https://jaipurhematology.in/services/car-t-cell-therapy/): CAR-T cell therapy is a treatment in which a patient's own T-cells (a type of immune cell) are collected, genetically engineered in a laboratory to recognise cancer cells, and infused back to attack the cancer. In December 2024, the first CAR-T cell therapy in Rajasthan was performed at BMCHRC, Jaipur, by Dr Prakash Singh Shekhawat. - [Leukemia (Blood Cancer)](https://jaipurhematology.in/services/leukemia/): Leukemia is a cancer of the blood that begins in the bone marrow, where abnormal white blood cells grow uncontrollably and crowd out healthy blood cells. The main types are acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Treatment depends on the type and may include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, bone marrow transplant or CAR-T therapy. - [Lymphoma](https://jaipurhematology.in/services/lymphoma/): Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system that starts in lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, usually in the lymph nodes. The two main groups are Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The commonest sign is a painless, persistent swelling of lymph nodes in the neck, armpit or groin. Many lymphomas are highly treatable, and treatment may include chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, stem cell transplant or CAR-T therapy. - [Multiple Myeloma](https://jaipurhematology.in/services/multiple-myeloma/): Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells, a type of white blood cell in the bone marrow. Abnormal plasma cells multiply and produce an abnormal protein (M-protein), which can cause bone pain and fractures, anemia, kidney problems, high calcium and frequent infections. Modern drug combinations, autologous bone marrow transplant and CAR-T therapy have made myeloma a manageable condition for many patients. - [Thalassemia](https://jaipurhematology.in/services/thalassemia/): Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder in which the body cannot make enough normal hemoglobin, leading to chronic anemia. People with thalassemia trait (carriers) are usually healthy, but if both parents are carriers, each pregnancy has a 1-in-4 chance of a child with thalassemia major, which needs regular blood transfusions. For eligible patients, bone marrow transplant is an established treatment that can remove the need for lifelong transfusions. - [Anemia](https://jaipurhematology.in/services/anemia/): Anemia (anaemia) means the blood does not have enough healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin to carry oxygen, causing tiredness, weakness and breathlessness. The commonest cause in India is iron deficiency, but anemia can also come from vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, blood loss, chronic disease, thalassemia, hemolysis or bone marrow problems. Finding the exact cause is the key to the right treatment. - [Thrombocytopenia (Low Platelets) & ITP](https://jaipurhematology.in/services/thrombocytopenia-low-platelets/): Thrombocytopenia means a low platelet count, usually below 1.5 lakh (150,000) per microlitre of blood. Platelets help the blood clot, so a very low count can cause easy bruising, red spots on the skin, or bleeding from the gums or nose. Common causes include viral infections such as dengue, immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), medicines and bone marrow disorders. Treatment depends on the cause and the platelet level. - [Hemophilia & Bleeding Disorders](https://jaipurhematology.in/services/hemophilia-bleeding-disorders/): Hemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder in which the blood lacks a clotting factor, usually Factor VIII (hemophilia A) or Factor IX (hemophilia B). People with hemophilia bleed for longer after injuries and can bleed into joints and muscles. It mainly affects males and is passed down through carrier females. Regular preventive (prophylactic) treatment protects joints and allows an active life. - [Paediatric Hematology & BMT](https://jaipurhematology.in/services/pediatric-hematology/): Dr Prakash Singh Shekhawat provides specialised care for children's blood diseases, including thalassemia, sickle cell disease, aplastic anemia, leukemia, bleeding disorders, ITP, immune deficiencies and congenital bone marrow failure, with transplant options when needed. ## Patient guides - [When should you see a hematologist? 10 signs not to ignore](https://jaipurhematology.in/patient-guides/when-to-see-a-hematologist/): A hematologist is a doctor who specialises in diseases of the blood, bone marrow and lymph nodes. You should see one if you have unexplained or persistent anemia, abnormal blood counts, easy bruising or bleeding, unusual blood clots, enlarged lymph nodes or spleen, or a family history of an inherited blood disorder. - [How to read your CBC (complete blood count) report](https://jaipurhematology.in/patient-guides/understanding-your-cbc-report/): A complete blood count (CBC) measures your red blood cells and hemoglobin, white blood cells and platelets. Values slightly outside the lab's reference range are often not serious, but persistent or marked abnormalities, or more than one abnormal cell line, should be reviewed by a doctor or hematologist. - [Thalassemia trait: why every couple should test before marriage or pregnancy](https://jaipurhematology.in/patient-guides/thalassemia-trait-test-before-marriage/): Thalassemia trait (thalassemia minor) is a carrier state that usually causes no illness. But if both partners are carriers, each pregnancy has a 25% chance of a baby with thalassemia major. A simple blood test (CBC plus hemoglobin HPLC) before marriage or early in pregnancy identifies carriers, and prenatal testing can tell whether the baby is affected.
