Blood and Bone Marrow Transplant

The Bone Marrow Transplant Program of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center and the Bone Marrow and Blood Stem Cell Transplant Program at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center serve patients from the greater New York area, surrounding states, and countries abroad, with long-term survivors now numbering in the hundreds. As pioneers for more than 30 years in the development of bone marrow transplantation, both autologous (using a patient's own cells) and allogeneic (donated cells), NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital continues as a distinguished leader in the field. Our physicians have been involved in the development of "mini-transplants," which permit patients who would have previously been denied bone marrow transplants because of frailty or age a chance at curative treatment.

NewYork-Presbyterian Cancer Centers continue their leadership role in bone marrow and stem cell transplantation. Both NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia and NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell have bone marrow transplant programs to treat patients with diseases such as leukemias, lymphomas, aplastic anemia, immune deficiency disorders, and some solid tumor cancers. NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell is an approved transplant center for the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP), the largest registry of unrelated donors (almost five million) in the world, and is involved in groundbreaking research that is benefiting patients and attracting large numbers of patient referrals worldwide. In addition, Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital of NewYork-Presbyterian is also an approved NMDP Unrelated Stem Cell Transplant Center.
