Transplant Process 

The transplant process is different for everyone. Your path will depend on many things including the type of transplant, your overall health, and your disease status. Read more about the steps in the transplant process.

Diseases treated by transplant

For some diseases, transplant is a treatment option right away after diagnosis. For diseases with a high risk of coming back, transplant may be the best option during remission (no signs of disease). Read more about how transplant may treat certain blood cancers and diseases and when to see a transplant doctor.

Treatment decisions

You won’t have to make treatment decisions alone. Your health care team will be there to help you understand the risks and benefits of treatment options, answer your questions, and support you every step of the way. Learn about what to consider when making treatment decisions.

Clinical trials 

Some patients may join a clinical trial (research study) during the transplant process. Clinical trials help doctors learn how to make transplant work better for future patients. Read more and search for clinical trials.
