About the center
Overview
The transplant program at UCSD is a highly specialized team of physicians, advanced practitioners (NP/PA), nurses and social workers. UCSD performs transplants (autologous & allogeneic which includes unrelated, haploidentical, and cord blood) for patients with a wide variety of diseases. We also have CAR-T therapy as well as clinical trials. UCSD is fully FACT accredited and the BMT program is part of an NCI & NCCN -designated comprehensive cancer center.
This center has been performing allogeneic transplants since 1993 and has been an NMDP/Be The Match transplant center since July 1998.

Overall center survival
Patient survival information for this center
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:
- Patients who had their FIRST ALLOGENEIC transplant (cells from a related or unrelated donor/cord blood) during 2017, 2018, 2019, 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 200 patients.
The actual 1-year survival of these patients is 69.9%.
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 69.7% and 81.2%.

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.
