UF Health Bone Marrow Transplant

The UF Health Shands Hospital Blood and Marrow Transplant Program was established in 1981, making it the oldest in Florida. Our board-certified physicians treat conditions that include acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), blood disorders, Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Services include bone marrow biopsy, bone marrow transplant and chemotherapy. Our program is the first in Florida to offer "mini" transplants. Such non-myeloablative transplants use less intensive conditioning regimens and are an alternative for thousands of cancer patients either too old or too ill to withstand transplantation using approaches that employ high doses of chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
