Unrelated Donor Search & Transplant

Improvements in unrelated donor transplantation

In recent years, the number of hematopoietic cell transplants using an unrelated donor or cord blood unit (blood or marrow transplants — BMT) has increased as outcomes have improved. Outcomes support consideration of an unrelated donor or cord blood unit whenever transplant is indicated and no matching sibling is available.

Searching for an unrelated donor

Incorporating the potential for an unrelated donor or cord blood transplant into a comprehensive treatment plan and initiating the search for a donor or cord blood unit early improve the likelihood of a successful outcome.
