Patients fare best when treated by physicians who have extensive experience overseeing transplantation and managing its potential complications.
Over the past three decades, our physicians have developed particularly effective treatment regimens that include transplantation for specific diseases.
Acute Myelogenous Leukemia
Younger patients -- 20 to 40 years old -- with acute myelogenous leukemia who are treated at Memorial Sloan-Kettering have excellent prospects of disease-free survival (80 percent), while older patients beyond the age of 40 fare almost as well (72 percent) after allogeneic transplant. We even tranaplant patients older than 60 who are otherwise medically fit.
Amyloidosis
Physicians here are known nationally and internationally for the treatment of amyloidosis, Hodgkin's disease, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. A close-knit team of physicians and nurses from both our lymphoma and transplant services work together to oversee transplantation in these patients, providing coordination and continuity of care.
