Blood & Bone Cancers We Treat
Blood and bone marrow transplants infuse your body with healthy cells to replace weakened ones. Or send in reinforcements to restore the balance of strong cells needed to fend off cancer. These infusions are effective against diseases of the blood or bones, including cancers:
- Leukemia
- Lymphoma
- Multiple myeloma
- Ovarian germ cell tumors
- Pediatric central nervous system tumors
- Pediatric sarcoma
Tests for Blood Transplants
Transplants require testing of both the patient and the donor — even if the cells come from you. A variety of information is necessary to ensure a match and an effective course of treatment.
- Blood work
- Bone marrow biopsy
- Chest x-ray
- CT scan
- Electrocardiogram
- Multi-gated acquisition scan
- Pulmonary function test
- Urine test
