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.

This center's actual 1-year survival results are similar to the expected rate for this center.

The survival information we have for this center includes ONLY:

1. Patients who had their FIRST ALLOGENEIC transplant (cells from a related or unrelated donor/cord blood) during 2018, 2019, 2020, and
2. Who had their transplant at a U.S. transplant center, and
3. Who had follow-up information provided by the transplant center for analysis

For this center, we have survival information for 55 patients.

The actual 1-year survival of these patients is 94.5%.

Compared to similar patients transplanted at all centers in the U.S., we expect that the 1-year survival for patients at this center to be in a range between 78.8% and 95.8%.
