Akron Children's Hospital performs autologous and allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplants for pediatric patients in a multidisciplinary setting. We uphold our mission of treating all children as if they were our own and turning no child or family away based on their ability to pay. Patients are cared for in a family centered setting in which parents and caregivers are encouraged to play an active role with the health care team to make sure: you will be heard, your child will be safe and you child is in expert hands. We provide care coordination for the patients and families during all phases of the transplant process. Patients treated with stem cell transplants include those with Sickle cell disease, Aplastic anemia, Beta Thalassemia, MDS, Osteopetrosis, Wilm's tumor, Ewings disease, recurrent Hodgkin's disease, recurrent and high risk ALL, AML, Neuroblastoma, other central nervous system malignancies, and inherited metabolic disorders.

This center has been performing allogeneic transplants since 2004 and has been an NMDP/Be The Match transplant center since December 2010.

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 16 patients.

The actual 1-year survival of these patients is 93.8%.

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 64.5% and 99.1%.
