Becoming a Bone Marrow Donor

Edward Gorak, DO, describes the Geisinger Bone Marrow Transplant Program and the importance of marrow donors to fighting cancer.

Patients who undergo autologous and allogeneic bone marrow transplantation require convenience and close-to-home care. Few rural healthcare centers in the nation can offer the kind of advanced bone marrow transplant care, in such a convenient setting, as Geisinger. 

While many transplants are performed on an inpatient basis, Geisinger performs several autologous bone marrow transplants on an outpatient basis, allowing the patient to rest and recover in their home environment. And Geisinger employs the latest transplantation techniques including collection of bone marrow stem cells through an IV in the arm, for most patients, rather than through a catheter in the chest.

If you’ve been diagnosed with a blood cancer, consider Geisinger for your treatment. If you are interested in having a second opinion, our hematologists and oncologists would be happy to talk with you and your family about a treatment plan.
