Cedars-Sinai Medical Center offers the third largest blood and marrow transplant program in the Los Angeles area. To ensure the safety and comfort of our patients, a specially equipped hospital unit has been designated for the exclusive use of this program.

Drawn by our reputation for quality care, patients from all over Southern California, as well as neighboring states, come to Cedars-Sinai to take full advantage of the specialized, first-hand experience of our dedicated doctors.

Stem cell blood and bone marrow cell transplants offer hope to patients who have not responded to traditional therapy, who have suffered a relapse or who risk recurrence.

Acute leukemia, chronic leukemia, Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, neuroblastoma and testicular cancer are among the cancers most commonly treated by this type of transplantation.

Armed with the latest research findings and the newest equipment, Cedars-Sinai's specialists have performed stem cell and bone marrow transplant procedures on more than 500 patients since the program's inception. Physicians who participate in the program require additional training and experience and attend regular weekly patient care and educational conferences. Working closely with them is an elite corps of specially trained oncology nurses.

Cedars-Sinai's Blood and Marrow Transplant Program is a leading force in the battle to save patients suffering from blood-related cancers.
