About the center
Overview
The Cardinal Glennon transplant team works closely with Be the Match to ensure the best possible donor choice (related/unrelated/umbilical cord blood) to treat a variety of malignant and non-malignant diseases. Our multidisciplinary team works tirelessly to ensure that the transplant process is as successful and smooth as possible. We are members of all cooperative groups doing research on transplants in order to be able to offer the latest transplant technology.
This center has been performing allogeneic transplants since 1994 and has been an NMDP/Be The Match transplant center since July 1998.
