Transplant Summary
Overview
The Baptist Cancer Center Malignant Hematology and Transplant Program is a program that performs adult autologous and allogeneic transplantation. This facility has been a member of the NMDP transplant center network since May 2015. Cellular therapy products for transplantation are obtained from a patient’s own stem cells, a related donor, or an unrelated donor. In some instances, a half-matched (haplo-identical) relative donor is used. The program also provides extracorporeal photopheresis and immune effector cellular therapy. Diseases commonly treated include acute and chronic leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, aplastic anemia and MDS.This center has been performing allogeneic transplants since 2012 and has been an NMDP transplant center since May 2015.
