Blood Stem Cell and Bone Marrow Transplants
City of Hope is one of the largest and most successful transplantation programs in the country, with more than 18,000 bone marrow transplant procedures performed to date—both autologous and allogeneic—through our cancer centers in Duarte, Phoenix, Chicago and Atlanta. And we're known for delivering exceptional survivor rates, according to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research. Over the years we have consistently had outcomes that rank at the highest level among centers in this country.
City of Hope has long been a pioneer in creating breakthrough treatments for all hematologic cancers (leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma and myelodysplastic syndrome) aplastic anemia, inherited blood diseases like sickle cell disease and other blood-related disorders. We are also a world leader in setting standards for stem cell transplantation and in improving long-term outcomes for both children and adults.

We recognize the importance of maintaining contact with all transplant patients to ensure they have optimal outcomes after their treatments have concluded. Established in 1998, our long-term follow-up program tracks patients who have received a transplant at City of Hope. Through this program, our survivors can be carefully monitored for long-term effects and given timely interventions, while our clinicians and researchers have access to data that they can use to improve cancer treatments further.
