Hans Messner Allogeneic Transplant Program <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Hans Messner Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant Program at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre\u2014formerly the Allogeneic Transplant Program\u2014is the largest of its kind in Canada. Our legacy began on June 10, 1970, when Dr. Hans Messner, Dr. Ernest McCulloch, and their team performed the first stem cell transplant at Princess Margaret. This landmark procedure was not only the first in Canada but also one of the first successful transplants outside of the United States. Since the program\u2019s establishment in 1975, we have completed over 4,000 transplants. In 2023, we reached a historic milestone: performing more than 200 allogeneic transplants in a single year\u2014the highest number ever achieved by any cancer centre in the country. This achievement reflects our unwavering commitment to advancing patient care and outcomes. Through the expertise and collaboration of our interdisciplinary team, we have driven a >30% increase in patient survival rates since 2019.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Blood and marrow transplants\u2014also known as hematopoietic stem cell transplants\u2014are a treatment option for patients with certain blood or bone marrow disorders. These transplants may be recommended when chemotherapy alone is unlikely to be effective. Stem cells are collected from a donor\u2019s bone marrow or peripheral blood and used to help restore healthy blood cell production in the patient.<\/p>

An allogeneic blood and marrow transplant<\/strong> involves receiving stem cells from a donor other than yourself. The donor may be a relative or an unrelated volunteer from an international registry. Before the transplant, patients typically undergo high-dose chemotherapy and, in many cases, radiation therapy. The donor\u2019s stem cells are then infused into the patient. Most transplants are performed in an inpatient setting, with hospital stays averaging around four weeks.<\/p>

Allogeneic transplants are used to treat a variety of conditions, including:<\/p>
