Diseases Treated with a Transplant

If you have been diagnosed with cancer or another condition that affects the blood, your doctors may recommend a bone marrow or stem cell transplant. These conditions include various types of leukemia and some non-cancerous disorders, such as aplastic anemia.

At the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance’s Adult Clinical Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Service, we use bone marrow or stem cell transplants to treat the following conditions:

Non-malignant disorders (non-cancerous)

• Aplastic anemia
• Hemoglobinopathies, including sickle cell anemia
• Immune deficiency disorders
• Autoimmune diseases, including scleroderma and multiple sclerosis

Malignant diseases (cancer)

• Acute and chronic leukemias
• Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas
• Myelodysplasia
• Multiple myeloma
• Myelofibrosis
• Renal cell carcinoma
