The age limit for bone marrow transplantation for leukemia needs to be decided on the basis of the type of transplantation and the dose of graft preconditioning. Usually the age control is below 60 years and bone marrow transplantation is not recommended above 60 years, but the age can be relaxed to above 60 years if the patient has good physical function.
1. Bone marrow transplantation is categorized into autologous and allogeneic transplantation. In the case of autologous transplantation, the age of the patient is usually restricted to below 60 years old, but if the patient’s physical function is good, the age limit can be appropriately relaxed.
2. In the case of allogeneic transplantation, the age of acceptable transplant patients is also generally below 60 years old, but the age can be relaxed to 65 years old or even 70 years old by doing a reduced-dose pre-treatment transplant.
If the patient suffers from leukemia, it is recommended to seek medical treatment in time, and under the guidance of the doctor, improve the relevant examinations to clarify whether bone marrow transplantation can be performed, and then take corresponding treatment measures.
