Transplant Experience |
||
This center has been performing allogeneic transplants since 1973 and
has been an NMDP transplant center since August 1993.Center-Specific AnalysisThis analysis is based on transplants performed from Jan. 1, 2002 through Dec 31, 2006, using unrelated NMDP donors. It only includes patients who were confirmed to be either alive or deceased within one year of transplant.

Survival by Patient's Age, Disease Type and Stage
This data is only based on unrelated transplants performed from Jan. 2002 to Dec. 2006. It also includes one year post-transplant follow-up, through Dec. 2007. The first number represents the number of patients alive at one year post transplant. The second number is a total number of transplanted patients in the particular group.
| CP = chronic phase (1st or 2nd) | BP = blastic phase |
| AP = accelerated phase | CR = complete remission (1st, 2nd, 3rd or more) |
| RLPS = relapse | PIF = primary induction failure |
