The goal of stem cell (bone marrow) transplantation is to infuse healthy stem cells into a child after the unhealthy marrow has been eliminated. Following transplantation, specialized care and precautions are required as the immune system recovers. 

Diseases that are treated with Stem Cell Transplantation

The Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stem Cell Transplant team performs transplants to treat a wide array of pediatric disorders. Working with the National Marrow Donor Program, our experienced doctors and care providers search for the most appropriate donors for our patients. We are dedicated to ensuring that no child who needs a transplant will be denied one due to the lack of a donor.
