Restoring Cells to Health
Today, one of the most aggressive procedures used in the battle against cancer is blood and marrow transplant. Relatively new, this technique seeks to replace cancerous cells with transplanted healthy blood, bone marrow or stem cells. Oncologists, doctors who specialize in cancer, nationwide are reporting increasingly successful results as more is learned and more patients respond positively to the treatment.
The Blood and Marrow Transplant Program at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center was established in 1989. Since then, the hospital's program has earned wide respect among experts in the medical community for its leading-edge research efforts and clinical trials, as well as its commitment to excellence in patient care.
Biomedical research is a major component of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center's mission and is critical to our commitment of maintaining excellence in patient care. Ranked among the top 10 non-university independent hospitals nationwide in terms of research, Cedars-Sinai is currently conducting more than 600 research projects through the Burns & Allen Research Institute.
A comprehensive array of medical services is available through the Blood and Marrow Transplant Program, including diagnosis, screening, pre-transplant preparation and education, post-discharge care, recovery and dietary counseling.
As our select team of specially trained doctors and nurses daily confront the unsolved riddles of blood-related cancers, Cedars-Sinai continues to lead the way to discoveries that can control and cure these diseases.
