Stem cell transplant for thalassemia in China
地中海贫血造血干细胞移植
A one-time curative treatment: the patient's blood-forming system is replaced with a donor's — a matched sibling, or a half-matched (haploidentical) parent when no full match exists. Compare this once-off cost with lifelong transfusion and chelation, which alone can run ¥100,000–200,000 every year.
