Bone Marrow Transplant

Bone marrow is the spongy material inside your bones that produces stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Bone marrow transplantation – where your diseased bone marrow is destroyed and replaced with healthy marrow infused into your bloodstream -- can successfully treat a variety of cancers.
The Florida Center for Cellular Therapy at the Florida Hospital Cancer Institute serves as Central Florida’s first and only comprehensive bone marrow transplant center for both adult and pediatric patients. We take special care to help you every step of the way in the transplant process, from initial consultation with your primary physician or oncologist to supportive care and follow-up.
In all, our team has performed more than 350 blood and marrow transplants, providing therapy and treatment for a variety of conditions, including aplastic anemia, leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, bone marrow failure syndromes, germ cell tumors and neuroblastoma.
Using state-of-the-art inpatient and outpatient units, our team is specially trained to handle both autologus transplants -- where the patient’s own marrow or stem cells are used – and allogenic transplants -- where a donor provides the bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cells.
