Bone Marrow Transplant Program

Since the program started in 1992, over 400 transplants have been performed in our 4-bed inpatient unit. Patients receive transplants for non-hodgkins lymphoma, Hodgkins disease, multiple myeloma, leukemia and selected solid tumors. The program performs both autologous and matched-related allogeneic transplants. This is a multidisciplinary program working closely with the clinical apheresis service, cryopreservation laboratory, radiation oncology, social service, nursing and dietary service for the management of transplant patients. The transplant program coordinates the management of patients both pre- and post-transplant as well as during the transplant admission. The transplant team actively participates in the Autologous Blood and Marrow Transplant Registry, International Bone Marrow Transplant Registry, Cancer and Leukemia Group B, National Marrow Donor Program and pharmaceutical research studies. The Autologous program is accrediated by the Foundation for the Accrediatation of Hematopoietic Cell Therapy (FACHT).
