The combined adult and pediatric BMT program have excellent survival rates, with the program receiving a +1 rating from the CIBMTR for the outcomes reported in Jan 2019. The pediatric BMT program is a COG approved transplant site, and actively participates in cooperative group trials through the PBMTC, the PIDTC, and the Sickle Cell consortium, as well as running several institution investigator-initiated trials. The Pediatric BMT team is a multidisciplinary team, committed to providing state-of-the-art care to the patients of the Southwest as well as to patients from out-of-state and international locations.
The research focus of the BMT Program includes acute leukemia, myeloproliferative disorders, transplant for hemoglobinopathies and immune deficiencies, chronic GVHD, survivorship and cellular therapies. The Children’s Blood and Cancer Division at Phoenix Children’s Hospital sees over 370 new oncology patients per year, and has additional active clinical and laboratory research programs in oncology, neuro-oncology, survivorship, hemophilia, and phase I/phase II investigational drug development.
