About the center
Overview
The adult program is one of the leading centers for transplantation of patients with testicular/germ cell tumors. Clinical interests include immunotherapy and use of novel agents for treating patients with lymphoma and multiple myeloma. Research interests include haploidentical transplantation, adult cord blood transplantation, enhancement of post-transplant immune function, and graft vs host disease prevention and treatment. The pediatric program is the only stem cell transplant program in Indiana for children. Children treated include those with leukemia, solid tumors, immundeficiencies, sickle cell disease, other non-malignant conditions and rare genetic disorders. Research interests include graft vs. host disease and use of mesenchymal stromal cells for Fanconi Anemia. The Adult and Pediatric Programs are the first in Indiana to be certified to administer commercial CART-cell Therapy.
This center has been performing allogeneic transplants since 1985 and has been an NMDP/Be The Match transplant center since January 1988.

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 2018, 2019, 2020, 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 224 patients.
The actual 1-year survival of these patients is 83.4%.
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 74.7% and 84.7%.

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.
