Blood cancer

As a fully integrated network of care, we aim to meet your health needs with advanced technology and resources. We are a proud member of Sarah Cannon Transplant and Cellular Therapy Network, one of the world’s largest providers of blood and marrow transplants. We offer the Sarah Cannon Transplant and Cellular Therapy Program at TriStar Centennial Medical Center and TriStar Centennial Children’s Hospital. 

Our blood cancer care includes the latest in immunotherapy, targeted therapy and stem cell transplants. We also offer access to innovative clinical research trials, genetic counseling and a wide range of support services, including support groups and oncology-trained nurse navigators who help guide you throughout your cancer journey. Treatments offered at TriStar Health include: 

• Blood and marrow transplant — A blood and marrow transplant, also known as a stem cell transplant, helps the body regain the ability to make blood cells after high-dose chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Although these therapies are used to kill blood cancer cells, they can also destroy healthy cells. A blood and marrow transplant can help replace what was lost during radiation treatment. Our specialists perform both adult and pediatric blood and marrow transplant procedures.
• Chemotherapy treatment — Chemotherapy is often given as a treatment for certain kinds of leukemia. In chemotherapy, anti-cancer drugs are given to you orally, intravenously or occasionally via cerebrospinal fluid to destroy cancer cells throughout the body. 
• Clinical research trials  — Our oncologists conduct clinical research trials to test new ways to treat cancer. Through these studies, our specialists can identify cancer therapies that may be more effective than existing ones. We are proud to participate in several clinical trials and offer the most advanced treatments for your diagnosis. 
• Immunotherapy and targeted therapy  — Our specialists offer the latest in immunotherapy and targeted therapy, including chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. This is a highly specific treatment in which a sample of your T-Cells, a type of immune cell, are genetically modified to target and destroy cancer cells. Your modified immune cells are then replicated and given to you as a transfusion during treatment. This type of therapy is only available at facilities where doctors and nurses have been specially trained and meet the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT) standards. 
• Pediatric blood cancer care  — We offer care for pediatric blood cancer as part of our pediatric oncology program at TriStar Centennial Children’s Hospital. Our compassionate team offers blood and bone marrow transplants and will tailor each plan to fit your child’s unique diagnosis and needs. 
• Radiation therapy treatment  — Radiation therapy uses radiation to destroy cancerous cells. It is also administered as a pre-operative treatment before bone marrow and blood stem cell transplants to ensure their effectiveness.

Whether you are a current cancer patient or in remission, having support is an important part of your mental and emotional health. Support groups can be a life-giving resource, uniting patients with cancer, survivors and their families. Additionally, many of these groups offer educational seminars, workshops and other social events. We invite you to visit our cancer support page or speak with your nurse navigator for more information about these programs.

Clinical research trials are conducted by our oncologists to test new ways to treat cancer. Cancer clinical trials help to determine if a treatment, drug or procedure shows a better way of treating a particular cancer or provides a way to treat a condition for which there wasn't a treatment before. We are proud to participate in a number of clinical trials, and offer the latest treatments for your diagnosis.
