At Community Health Network’s MD Anderson Cancer Center, a groundbreaking milestone has been reached with the center’s first stem cell transplant.
This significant medical advancement involves the infusion of a patient’s own stem cells, which were harvested, frozen, and reintroduced after a high dose of chemotherapy.
The procedure aims to restore the bone marrow and promote recovery, marking a new era in providing life-saving cellular therapy treatments for patients with Leukemia, Lymphoma, and Myeloma.
With plans to perform up to 200 transplants annually, this collaboration offers unprecedented access to world-class cancer care in the region.
