Nationally recognized

The nationally recognized Stanford Blood and Marrow Transplant Program combines superior patient care with cutting-edge medicine. We are among a select number of Blood and Marrow Transplant programs in the country currently funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to conduct clinical research designed to improve patient outcomes. The program is fully accredited by the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT) and is a member of the Blood and Marrow Transplant Clinical Trials Network of the NCI.

Superior patient care

Patients receiving care with the Stanford Blood and Marrow Transplant Program have access to the full complement of specialist doctors within the medical center, including many who are nationally recognized. Although most of our patients are from California, others travel from throughout the United States and some from other countries to seek care from the Stanford Blood and Marrow Transplant Program. Our blood and bone marrow transplantation treatment process is highly interdisciplinary.

The doctors in the Blood and Marrow Transplant Program have extensive blood and bone marrow transplant experience and are dedicated to the care of patients undergoing transplantation. Our doctors focus exclusively on blood and bone marrow transplant, enabling them to provide the best possible care while incorporating innovation and new research to improve treatment outcomes.

Clinical Trials

Stanford's cutting-edge research

The following is some of the research that Blood and Marrow Transplant Program doctors have recently been involved with:

  • Cellular therapeutics—translational research investigating specific cell populations, such as regulatory T-cells, cytokine induced killer (CIK) cells, tumor vaccines, and memory T-cells
  • Graft vs host disease—investigating novel approaches to the prevention and treatment of graft vs host disease
  • Haploidentical hematopoietic (blood forming) cell transplantation
  • Pioneered novel TLI/ATG allogeneic preparative regimen, which reduces rates of graft vs host disease and lowers transplant-related risks in select disease types

Before beginning treatment, ask your doctor about any clinical trials you should consider. Learn more about clinical trials for cancer patients.
