Arkansas Children’s Hospital offers both allogeneic autologous blood marrow transplants to treat cancers, immune disorders and blood diseases. BMT uses healthy bone marrow, or stem cells to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow. Our autologous program is accredited by the internationally recognized Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT). Our program is also a certified CAR-T site. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells uses the patient’s own genetically modified T cells to attack and kill cancer cells. This therapy is used to treat some of the most challenging pediatric cancers including B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We are currently using CAR-T cells treatment known as tisagenlecleucel (Kymriah).
