DESCRIPTION
Developed in Conjunction with the National Marrow Donor Program
Since the first successful allogeneic hematopoietic cell (HC) transplants occurred using unrelated donors in the early 1970's, donor registries have grown to over 15 million HLA typed potential donors and over 12,000 unrelated donor transplants occur annually worldwide. This session will address the question of clinical outcomes of HCT. We continue to grow the number of donors on the NMDP registry and we are performing an ever increasing number of transplants for patients in need, but have we improved donor match rates and patient survival rates over the past several decades? This session will address the donor and patient related factors that impact clinical outcomes for the transplant patient and how donor registries and transplant physicians might continue to improve outcomes of transplantation in years to come.
*Cellular Therapy-focused Audioconference.
