Adult Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT)

Life-saving vision

Dr. E. Donnall Thomas and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center team are the pioneers of bone marrow transplantation. Dr. Thomas received a Nobel Prize for this groundbreaking work. (For the full story of Dr. Thomas' research and recognition, click here.)

Today, bone marrow transplantation is used to treat cancers and other diseases, including aplastic anemia, sickle cell anemia, immune deficiency disorders, and autoimmune diseases such as scleroderma and multiple sclerosis. Malignant diseases (cancers) treated with transplantation include acute and chronic leukemias, Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, myelodysplasia, multiple myeloma, myelofibrosis, and renal cell carcinoma.

As a result of our doctors’ expertise as pioneers in the field:

Seattle Cancer Care Alliance transplant results are outstanding.
We treat high-risk patients.
We offer the latest therapies.
We have a unique long-term follow-up program.

At SCCA, you will receive the best possible medical care in an environment designed to support you and your family.
