A bone marrow or cord blood transplant (also called a BMT) is a potentially life-saving treatment for some patients who have leukemia, lymphoma, or a genetic metabolic or immune system disorder. A bone marrow or cord blood transplant replaces a patient's unhealthy blood-forming cells with healthy cells from a donor.
You may be the person who can save a patient's life.
The Registry of the C.W. Bill Young Cell Transplantation Program is a list of potential donors who have agreed to donate their marrow and of already donated cord blood units.
