Bone Marrow Transplant

Fred Hutchinson Transplant Program at SCCA

Over the years, thousands of patients diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma, myelodysplasia, multiple myeloma, and other malignant and non-malignant blood disorders have come to the Fred Hutchinson Transplant Program at SCCA. And for good reason:

 

Best Transplant Outcomes in the U.S.

The Fred Hutchinson Transplant Program at SCCA was ranked first in outcomes in a four-year study by the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) that measured one-year survival rates of patients among 122 transplant centers in the United States.

 

Most Experienced Transplant Center in the World

The Hutchinson Center has performed more transplants than any other transplant center in the world. And patients who choose to have their transplants at centers that perform a high number of such procedures generally have better outcomes.

 

Access to the Latest Transplant Research and Techniques

Clinical use of bone-marrow and stem-cell transplantation was first developed at the Hutchinson Center and one of The Hutchinson Center's founders, Dr. E. Donnall Thomas, won the Nobel Prize in 1990 for this ground-breaking work. Since then the Hutchinson Center has pioneered new types of transplants, including mini-transplants, cord-blood transplants and the use of stem-cell transplants for variety of cancers and genetic and immune disorders, such as multiple sclerosis, scleroderma, and lymphoma.
