What
about bone marrow transplantation? Is that considered
part of transplantation?
Yes, it is. You will also
find information on Loyola’s bone marrow transplantation
program on our Cancer Services pages. Loyola has a very
large program using stem cell and bone marrow transplantation,
including an active research component. Since 1994,
cancer patients have participated in more than 200 clinical
trials at Loyola, allowing them to receive therapies
that are not yet available at community hospitals.
