Autologous Transplants
Blood & Marrow Transplant
Autologous transplants are considered for patients with:
- Hodgkin’s disease (after failure of standard chemotherapy treatment)
- Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
- Acute leukemias, especially acute myeloid leukemia
- Multiple myeloma
- Germ-cell tumors
- Other selected solid tumors (those that respond to chemotherapy but are high risk for recurrence)
The ideal candidate has shown response to chemotherapy, but has not been through multiple regimens and relapses. Typically, patients are under 80 years of age. Selection of patients for this procedure; however, depends on many clinical factors and is determined on an individual basis.
To refer a patient to the program or to discuss a patient, please call us at (916) 453-5830.
