About the center
Overview
The Transplantation Program at UPMC Cancer Center offers comprehensive Adult SCT services, including autologous/syngeneic peripheral blood transplants, allogeneic peripheral blood, and bone marrow transplants from HLA-matched or partially HLA-mismatched related or unrelated donors. In addition, CAR-T therapy is offered as a treatment option for some types of lymphoma and leukemia.
This center has been performing allogeneic transplants since 1985 and has been an NMDP/Be The Match transplant center since July 1987.

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.
