Blood and Marrow Transplantation
The Division of Blood and Marrow Transplantation at Children’s National Medical Center is a nationally-recognized leader in pediatric blood and marrow treatment advances, known for its cutting-edge treatment protocols developed by Children’s physicians. Since 1988, Children’s specialists have performed more than 400 blood and marrow transplants (BMT).
The pediatric BMT program focuses on caring for children and their families and has unique strengths in treating inherited immunodeficiencies, sickle cell disease and malignant brain tumors.
The BMT team also treats patients with:
Children’s offers a range of treatments for children up to 21 years of age, including allogeneic, autologous (self), and cord blood transplants for malignant and non-malignant pediatric diseases.
The transplant team’s physicians, nurses, pharmacists, social workers, chaplains, and physical therapists are focused on delivering care to BMT patients in its state-of-the-art unit, located in Children’s new East Inpatient Tower. The BMT inpatient unit features private HEPA-filtered isolation rooms with a specialized water system, assuring a high level of protection against infections and creating an environment essential to successful transplantation.
The Division of Blood and Marrow Transplantation is the only regional dedicated pediatric National Marrow Donor Program transplant center, and is a participating center in the National Institute’s of Health-funded BMT Clinical Trials Network, the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research, and the Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplant Consortium. It also is a Children’s Oncology Group-accredited transplant program.
There also are several clinical trials for BMT patients offered in conjunction with these organizations and Children’s Research Institute, the academic arm of Children’s National Medical Center.
The Division of Blood and Marrow Transplantation is part of the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders.
