Your Specialists Blood Stem Cell Transplants

A blood stem cell transplant or bone marrow transplant is a complex therapy that can be applied to treat both patients with malignant diseases (leukemia/lymphoma/tumors) and patients with disorders of blood formation or the immune system and some metabolic diseases. We can offer patients all established transplant procedures depending on their diagnosis, the stage of the disease and the availability of a donor.

The Center for Pediatrics has many years of experience in performing these complex therapeutic procedures. It was one of the first pediatric stem cell transplant centers in Germany to receive certification according to international standards (JACIE) in 2006. Since the start of the transplant program in 1994, over 600 transplants have been performed. With approximately 30 allogeneic stem cell transplants per year, we are one of the largest stem cell transplant clinics for children and adolescents in Germany.

We perform stem cell transplants for all diseases that can be treated with such a therapy.
