Many cancer patients often require multiple blood transfusions during their course of the disease because bone marrow cells are damaged by chemotherapy or radiation therapy or when the bone marrow is crowded by cancer cells. In fact, five units of blood components are needed every minute to help someone going through cancer treatment.
At Cytecare, we focus on the safety of patients and the blood donors and the best quality of blood components is our priority and we take extra efforts and pride to make it happen.
A 150-bed treatment center which excels in advanced surgical care across oncology, critical care and other specialities.
Our commitment to providing the highest level of care & treatment to patients has led us to enhance the impact of treatment across multiple specialities through Cytecare Specialities and provide highly advanced cancer treatment and surgical care through our Oncology Center of Excellence
Cytecare blood centre is a fully equipped, state-of-the-art blood centre with experienced and certified team of doctors and technicians with the availability of all the blood components which caters to our patients as well as nearby hospitals. Healthy voluntary donors from blood donation drives and from our voluntary donor database fulfils our blood donor requirements. Regular voluntary donors assure safe blood as far as transfusion transmitted infections (TTIs) are concerned. All our components are NAT (Nucleic Acid Amplification Test) tested. NAT testing provides an additional layer of safety in preventing transfusion-transmitted infections like HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C in addition to ELISA/ECLIA testing.
SDP (single donor platelets ) is added with PAS ( platelet additive solution ) which makes it safe as compared to RDPs. It can be given to any group, multiple donor exposure is reduced to one healthy donor thereby reducing platelet refractoriness and excellent platelet count improvement is seen. For pediatric patients, we have the facility to make aliquot blood bags with the help of a sterile connecting dock which enables closed-circuit component aliquot bags maintaining complete sterility. Specialised blood products like irradiated PRBCs and platelets, leucoreduced PRBCs and platelets, saline washed red cells, platelet rich plasma are also available.
Apheresis components like Peripheral Blood Stem Cells (PBSCs), granulocyte concentrates, single donor plasma, Leukopaks, etc are available. Blood Centre coordinates with the Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) team for getting PBSC harvesting done and supports the requirement of irradiated and leucoreduced blood components during the patient’s course of the stay.
Cytecare’s commitment to providing the highest level of advanced cancer care treatment includes a multi-faceted approach that relies on what we call the four pillars of cancer treatment.
