How long can one live after a bone marrow transplant for leukemia?

Survival time after bone marrow transplantation for leukemia varies among individuals and mainly depends on factors such as the severity of the disease, postoperative recovery, and whether complications occur. 1. **Disease Condition and Complications**: If the patient has only leukemia without complications and the bone marrow is fully matched and successfully transplanted, the impact on lifespan is relatively small, and some patients may survive for a long time. However, if there are severe complications or disease recurrence after transplantation, survival time may be shortened to approximately five to ten years, or even less. 2. **Postoperative Recovery**: The patient's immune function may be relatively weak after transplantation. Therefore, sufficient rest, proper rest and activity, attention to warmth, increased nutritional intake, and appropriate exercise are necessary to enhance immune function and prevent infections. 3. **Regular Evaluation**: Patients should undergo regular follow-up examinations and evaluations to promptly identify and manage potential problems, thus prolonging survival time.
