Patient Experience
A 19-year-old college student with sickle cell disease underwent a non-myeloablative transplant from his matched sibling. Dr. Bansal incorporated extended hydroxyurea therapy pre-transplant to reduce iron overload, resulting in stable mixed chimerism and resolution of sickle crises.
A 62-year-old grandmother with CML in blast crisis received a sequential transplant approach—first autologous to achieve remission, then allogeneic from an unrelated donor. Dr. Bansal's staged strategy overcame initial poor cytogenetic response, leading to molecular remission.
A 8-year-old refugee child with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome underwent transplant with Dr. Bansal utilizing post-transplant cyclophosphamide to permit haploidentical transplant from his father. The team coordinated with NGOs for long-term immunoglobulin replacement therapy in their home country.
