About the center
Overview
The Children's Mercy Hospital's Blood and Bone Marrow Transplant Program treats children and young adults utilizing all donor sources. The program performs transplants for patients with a variety of childhood cancers including leukemia, lymphoma, neuroblastoma, and other solid cancers. The program is focused on novel less toxic transplant approaches to treat patients with non-malignant diseases, such as severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), aplastic anemia, thalassemia, sickle cell disease, neurometabolic diseases, and other rare genetic disorders.
This center has been performing allogeneic transplants since 1995 and has been an NMDP/Be The Match transplant center since February 2007.

Centers are not required to report autologous transplants so the numbers might be incomplete.
