Why choose Mayo Clinic for bone marrow and stem cell transplants

Experience. Specialists in bone marrow transplant and hematology at Mayo Clinic have extensive experience helping people with all types of diseases, including very rare ones. For example, they are leaders in the use of blood stem cell transplants to treat amyloidosis.

Each year, more than 30,000 people with blood diseases are treated at Mayo Clinic, and more than 700 of them undergo bone marrow transplants. This experience means your doctors are prepared with the knowledge and resources to provide exactly the care you need.

Teamwork. At Mayo Clinic, bone marrow transplant physicians form a multidisciplinary team with experts from other areas to evaluate your condition and develop an individualized treatment plan. They work with doctors trained in blood diseases (hematologists), cancer (oncologists) and other specialties (for example, lung, heart and kidney specialists). Mayo Clinic staff efficiently coordinates care as needed between its campuses in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota.

Care focused on you. Mayo Clinic's bone marrow transplant specialists are focused on your needs and your family needs. Doctors, nurses, social workers and others provide whole-person care based on your goals and situation. For example, a bone marrow transplant may be conducted as a hospital-based outpatient procedure, which reduces the time you'll spend in the hospital.

Advanced technology. Mayo Clinic patients benefit from Mayo's nationally accredited on-site advanced cell processing laboratory to prepare cells for transplant. The Human Cellular Therapy Laboratory develops and produces safe cellular products for research and patient care. And Mayo Clinic is accredited by the National Marrow Donor Program as a specialized center for matched unrelated donor stem cell transplants.

Innovative research. Mayo Clinic researchers make bone marrow transplants safer and improve the lives of people who need them. Their innovative treatments harness the body's immune system, make use of new stem cell technologies and prevent complications such as graft versus host disease.
