Blood and Marrow Transplantation

Why Choose Us for Your Child's Care

  • With one of the largest Blood and Marrow Transplant (BMT) programs in the nation, Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital offers autologous and allogeneic stem cell transplantations to treat children and adolescents with certain cancers and non-cancerous conditions, and is renowned for its pioneering work and expertise in umbilical cord blood transplantation.
  • We offer a more novel approach to stem cell transplantation where, in some cases, we are able to give low dose chemotherapy combined with immune therapy in order to allow the donor cells to grow while minimizing side effects.
  • Our BMT program has a highly active program in unrelated cord blood transplantation. Umbilical cord blood transplants have been used as an alternative source of stem cells since 1988 and can be an excellent source of stem cells for some patients.
  • Our Unrelated Adult Donor (Non-Cord) Stem Cell Transplants is approved by the National Marrow Donor Program to perform unrelated adult donor stem cell transplants.
  • We are sensitive to the enormous emotional, financial, and social pressures that accompany treatment for cancer or other serious blood, genetic or immune disorders.
