About the center
Overview
Our transplant program is a FACT-accredited pediatric transplant program. We provide a multi-disciplinary approach to transplant for children. Our transplant program performs all types of transplants, including matched family member donor, unrelated donor, cord blood, and mismatched related donor transplants. We are dedicated to improving the success of blood and marrow transplant through clinical research trials. This center has been performing allogeneic transplants since 2008 and has been an NMDP/Be The Match transplant center since October 2010.

- Patients who had their FIRST ALLOGENEIC transplant (cells from a related or unrelated donor/cord blood) during 2018, 2019, 2020, and
- Who had their transplant at a U.S. transplant center, and
- Who had follow-up information provided by the transplant center for analysis
For this center, we have survival information for 34 patients.
The actual 1-year survival of these patients is 73.5%.

Treatments may be similar for diseases within a group. It might be helpful to look at centers that have done transplants for a specific disease and centers that have done transplants for any corresponding broad disease categories.
Centers are not required to report autologous transplants so the numbers might be incomplete.
