️ OncoTalks Podcast | Understanding Bone Marrow & Stem Cell Transplants- Dr. Navin Khattry, Med Onc., ACTREC Tata Medical Centre, Mumbai
In this episode of OncoTalks by Suchitra Cancer Care Foundation, we dive deep into one of the most advanced treatments in cancer care — bone marrow and stem cell transplants.
Our expert guest from Tata Memorial Centre explains what a transplant really is (not a surgery but a special kind of blood transfusion!), why it is critical for patients with leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, thalassemia, and immune deficiency disorders, and how it can change survival outcomes.
The episode also sheds light on:
The difference between autologous (self) and allogenic (donor) transplants
Costs and why access remains a huge challenge for many families in India
The urgent need to establish more transplant centres in Bihar and Eastern India
A doctor’s inspiring personal journey of choosing this demanding yet rewarding field
This podcast is not just about medicine — it’s about hope, resilience, and the vision to bring world-class cancer care closer to home.
Watch, learn, and share — because awareness saves lives.
