Defying the Odds

For certain patients with leukemia, multiple myeloma and lymphoma, stem cell transplants, including peripheral blood, bone marrow and cord blood, can be powerful tools in the fight against cancer.

In the past, doctors collected a patient’s stem cells through bone marrow in a process known as a bone marrow transplant. Thanks to technological advances, this process has largely been replaced by stem cell transplant, which collects stem cells through the blood instead of the bone marrow in a simple, non-surgical procedure.

Sutter care centers have the latest in blood and stem cell transplants at Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento. Our experienced teams offer comprehensive services throughout the transplant process, from evaluation to recovery.

Doctors in the Sutter Health network use stem cell transplants to treat:

  • Acute lymphoblastic leukemia
  • Acute myeloid leukemia
  • Aplastic anemia and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria
  • Chronic lymphocytic leukemia
  • Chronic myelogenous leukemia
  • Hodgkin’s lymphoma
  • Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
  • Mantle cell lymphoma
  • Multiple myeloma
  • Myelodysplastic syndrome
  • Congenital disorders of blood production (sickle cell anemia, thalassemia), Blackfan-Diamond, Shwachman-Diamond and dyskeratosis congenital syndromes
  • Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia
  • Myeloproliferative disorders (polycythemia, myelofibrosis, thrombocythemia)
  • Testicular cancer
  • Autoimmune disorders
  • Other malignant and non-malignant disorders of blood and bone marrow
