The NMDP also has Transplants by Disease Charts available showing the number of NMDP coordinated transplants by disease category at each U.S. transplant center.
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 |
