Treatment/Procedure: Stem Cell Transplantation

Also called: Bone Marrow Transplant

UAMS Health operates one of the top peripheral blood stem cell transplantation clinics in the world.

Our transplant clinic offers autologous, allogeneic and matched unrelated donor transplants, as well as outpatient transplant, stem cell selection, novel therapeutic and gene therapy programs. Stem cell transplantation has essentially replaced bone marrow transplant, allowing most patients to receive their transplant as an outpatient.
