The affected child's hematologist, oncologist or other specialist may refer the family to our program by calling (510) 428-3374. Because it can take a long time to locate a donor, if one is necessary, and because additional therapy may affect the toxicity of stem cell transplantation, the sooner a patient is referred, the better.
We help families find a matching donor. We look for a matching donor among the patient's relatives first. If tests reveal there is no match in the family, our program coordinators can help locate an unrelated donor through donor registries.
Patients up to age 21 who have transplant-treatable illnesses and a matching stem cell donor are eligible for our services.
