Transplant Treatment Process

Deciding to have a transplant is a significant event. It is like embarking on a long, challenging journey. Throughout the journey, patients will access a number of facilities. Their primary entry point is the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA). The SCCA provides the patient care for patients undergoing treatment through Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center's Bone Marrow Transplant Program.

The SCCA, a collaboration between Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, University of Washington Medicine and Seattle Children's, forms one of the most comprehensive oncology-care organizations in the Pacific Northwest.

For your journey, the transplant process is divided into seven steps that guide a patient. The steps begin with how to prepare for the journey and include what to expect along the way.

  1. Planning Ahead

  2. Preparation

  3. Conditioning

  4. Transplant

  5. Waiting for Engraftment

  6. Engraftment and Early Recovery
