Transplant Experience

This center has been performing allogeneic transplants since 1986 and has been an NMDP transplant center since November 1989.

Center-Specific Analysis

This 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.
  1. This center reported survival status data for 184 patients.
  2. The overall disease condition of patients treated at this center was in the low category (1 on a scale of 1 to 5).
  3. The actual one-year survival of these patients was 62.4%.
  4. The predicted one-year survival was 61.0% (with 95% statistical confidence that the predicted survival was between 54.4% and 68.1%).
  5. This center's actual results are similar to the predicted range for this center. National one-year estimated actual survival was 54.0% in the 8,847 patients transplanted in the United States.

For help with understanding these statistics, please see How to Understand NMDP Transplant Center Statistics.

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.

Key:
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
