Bone marrow transplants are possible for patients who are 68 years old if they need one and are physically able to do so. However, a bone marrow transplant is generally not recommended for people over the age of 60. Bone marrow transplantation is a type of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation that helps patients re-establish a normal hematopoietic and immune system, and is therefore used for refractory blood disorders. Complications may occur after having a bone marrow transplant, such as the most common infections and graft-versus-host disease, making it more demanding on the patient’s health. At 68 years of age, the patient is older, and the patient may have other underlying medical conditions that may cause complications after having a bone marrow transplant, as well as the risk of treatment failure. Bone marrow transplantation should be done with caution and requires a thorough examination and evaluation. If it is deemed that the physical condition permits and the benefits of performing a bone marrow transplant outweigh the disadvantages, then a bone marrow transplant can be performed. Whether or not a 68-year-old patient can have a bone marrow transplant requires specific medical advice.
