Care and Treatment at Stanford

Conditions We Treat

The following is a list of diseases treated by the Stanford Blood and Marrow Transplant Program.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML)

A type of blood cancer in which bone marrow makes too many granulocytes (a type of white blood cell that normally fights infection). The term "acute" means the disease progresses rapidly. 

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia

A cancer of the blood in which too many lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell which normally fights infection, are produced by the bone marrow and by organs of the lymph system. 

Amyloidosis

A disease characterized by an abnormal build up of proteins (called amyloids) in various organs in the body. 

Aplastic anemia

A rare condition that occurs when the body stops producing enough new blood cells, causing fatigue and an increased risk of infections and uncontrolled bleeding. 

Chronic myelogenous leukemia

A chronic form of cancer that starts in the blood-forming cells of the bone marrow and invades the blood and other parts of the body over time.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)

A type of blood cancer in which bone marrow and other lymphatic system organs slowly make too many lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell). The term "chronic" means the disease progresses more slowly.  

Hodgkin's lymphoma

A rare type of lymphatic system cancer which causes some lymphatic cells to abnormally reproduce, eventually creating tumors and making the body less able to fight infection.

Lupus

An autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the body's cells and tissue, resulting in widespread, chronic inflammation and tissue damage.

Multiple myeloma

A type of cancer that affects certain white blood cells and collects in the bone marrow and the outer layer of the bone.

Mycosis fungoides

A skin cancer characterized by patches, plaques, and tumors where cancerous cells have invaded the skin. It can also progress to internal organs over time.

Myelodysplastic syndrome

A group of diseases that cause immature blood cells to accumulate in the bone marrow leading to a shortage of mature blood cells.

Microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC)

A rare skin cancer. While it’s slow-growing and seldom spreads to other parts of the body, it can grow into nearby fat and muscle and around adjacent nerves without proper treatment.

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma

A type of cancer of the lymphatic system which can begin in almost any part of the body, causing cells to abnormally reproduce and tumors to eventually grow.

Sarcoma

Cancerous (malignant) tumors of the connective tissues. Sarcoma is classified as bone or soft tissue sarcomas.
