Transplant Summary
Overview
Blood and marrow transplant (BMT) is often the best therapy for blood cancers. It’s also among the greatest success stories in cancer care – and it started right here.
Through the Blood and Marrow Transplant Program at Fred Hutch Cancer Center, we’ve performed more than 18,500 transplants. This makes our program not only the first, but also one of the most respected and successful of its kind in the world.
Our depth and breadth of knowledge allows us to treat both common and very rare blood diseases, and help manage any complication that might arise, helping you get better faster. And if you need a donor, we will help you find one. Today, because of advanced research, nearly everyone who needs a donor can be matched with one.This center has been performing allogeneic transplants since 1969 and has been an NMDP transplant center since February 1989.

Our Long-Term Follow-Up (LTFU) Program supports adults who have had a blood or marrow transplant (BMT) or cellular immunotherapy (IMTX) at Fred Hutch. After a comprehensive history and physical, we provide a detailed summary of recommendations that serve as a guide for patients and their primary healthcare providers, outlining potential late effects and health maintenance monitoring aimed at detecting possible complications early. Patients follow up with LTFU providers as needed for assistance in managing graft versus host disease (GVHD) and other complications of treatment.
