Blood and Marrow Transplant Program
Our Pediatric Bone Marrow Transplantation Unit (four beds) is the site of great promise for treatment of a number of childhood
diseases including
cancer,
leukemia and
sickle cell anemia
or
thalassemia syndrome. It is the only program of its kind in the region.
A collaborative effort between the Wolfson Children's Hospital, Mayo Clinic and Nemours Children's Clinic,
the program shares a single cryopreservation laboratory (where stem cells are frozen and processed) located at
Mayo. Mayo maintains the program's adult blood and marrow transplant unit, and
Wolfson Children's Hospital maintains its pediatric blood and marrow transplant unit. The program shares information systems,
network and other clinical and administrative staff.
