About the center
Overview
Transplants performed from related and unrelated donors using ablative and non-myeloablative conditioning, with marrow, blood stem cells and cord blood and Haplo transplants. Standard and investigational therapies available. Research focuses on improving safety, minimizing GVHD and enhancing graft-versus-tumor effect. We have treated over 170 patients with commercial car-T therapy since induction.
This center has been performing allogeneic transplants since 1996 and has been an NMDP/Be The Match transplant center since April 1999.

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.
