Blood cancer

We provide access to adult stem cell transplant services through the Sarah Cannon Transplant and Cellular Therapy Program, which is recognized by the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT). We are designated as a Blue Distinction Center for Adult Autologous Blood and Marrow Transplant by Blue Cross/Blue Shield. Additionally, we are proudly recognized by U.S. News and World Report as a high-performing hospital for leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma.

We offer a variety of treatment options, including:

• Chemotherapy — If chemotherapy is part of your treatment plan, our cancer center is built to meet your unique needs. We provide various forms of chemotherapy in a safe and comfortable environment. Additionally, if you experience illness or injury while undergoing chemotherapy, our care teams are specially trained to quickly identify and treat immunocompromised oncology patients who arrive at our cancer center or emergency room. 
• Radiation therapy — We offer complex imaging technology, radiation delivery devices and sophisticated computer systems to assess and plan for the treatment of your condition. Your radiation oncologists will work with other members of your cancer care team to meet your individual needs. 
• Immunotherapy — Our specialists are highly skilled in using immunotherapy to enhance your body’s immune system to help fight cancer. This includes chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, which is a FDA-approved treatment option typically used for hard-to-treat blood cancers or recurring cancers. 
• Bone and marrow transplant/stem cell therapy — After chemotherapy or radiation therapy, you may need a blood and marrow transplant to help your body restore lost blood cells. Our experts specialize in performing adult allogeneic and autologous transplantation, as well as hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation and immune effector cell therapy.
