About Bone Marrow Procurement Clinic

The UAMS Bone Marrow Procurement Clinic performs bone marrow biopsies that provide important information to physicians regarding the diagnosis, stage and treatment of a blood cancer. These biopsies are typically performed when lab results or scans indicate the possibility of a disease such as multiple myeloma or leukemia. The biopsy is often repeated following a treatment to determine if it was successful. At UAMS the clinic performs over 3,800 procedures per year, about 30% of which are currently done under anesthesia. The clinic is moving to a new location within the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute that is designed to double the number of sedation procedures that can be performed. Staff includes 2 physicians, 3 mid-level providers, 5 RNs and 6 medical assistants. All staff undergo special training and observation receiving certification to perform their work. The team works with precision and urgency as the results of the biopsy are critical to the treatment decisions made by medical and hematology oncologists for our patients.
