Bone marrow transplants are traditionally associated with leukaemia, but are now considered as treatment for a variety of diseases.
These diseases include immune-deficiency illnesses, blood cell production disorders, haematological malignancies, and congenital metabolic disorders.
The success rate of bone marrow transplants is 40-70%, but this rate is improving all the time and is particularly good in children.
Unfortunately, we are not able to give advice on individual cases. If you have a question relating to yourself, please refer to your medical practitioner. We are also unable, on grounds of confidentiality, to discuss individual search results with patients or their families. All requests for donors come to us directly from the hospital where an individual patient is being treated. Any patient or relative wishing to know if we are searching on their behalf should refer back to their physician.
For more general details about these particular diseases, along with details of support groups, other medical charities and information centres, please refer to the links above.
