Patient Care Is the
Program Centerpiece

Excellence in patient care is the center-piece of our program. The Adult Blood and Marrow Transplant Program has treated more than 1,300 adult patients with stem cell transplantation since our program began in 1980. Approximately 650 patients have been transplanted by using stem cells from someone other than the patient. An equal number of patients have been treated by using their own stem cells. Of those who received donor cells, more than 240 patients received their stem cells from an unrelated donor. We performed our first stem cell transplant in 1981. At present, approximately 120 to 140 adult patients are transplanted annually.

Our patient-centered focus includes continued research endeavors, both in the laboratory and at the bedside. As a part of Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center, an NCI –designated cancer center, we are committed to research that leads to improvements in the bone marrow transplant outcomes and to its wider application.
