Haloidentical Stem Cell Transplant
Haploidentical stem cell transplant is a type of allogeneic stem cell transplant that allows the use of stem cells from donors who aren’t perfect matches. One of the benefits of this type of transplant is its potential to expand the pool of donors. Haploidentical stem cell transplant uses healthy, blood-forming cells from a half-matches donor to replace the unhealthy cells. The donor is typically a family member.
Who Can Receive this Treatment?
A haploidentical transplant is becoming more common because it can help find a suitable donor quickly. Depending on the type of blood cancer you have, a haploidentical transplant could be an option if no perfectly matched donor is found. Our team will make the best possible decision for your situation.
How it Works
A haploidentical transplant is a newer type of transplant. A haploidentical, or half-matched, donor is usually your mom, your dad, or your child. Parents are always a half-match for their biological children. Siblings have a 50% chance of being a half-match for each other. Our doctor will test your blood to find out your human leukocyte antigen (HLA) type.
