Bone marrow transplant

If you're going to receive stem cells donated from someone else – a relative, unrelated donor or cord blood – then doctors need to find a donor whose tissue type matches yours. This page explains how we help to find you a match.

Blood cancer can affect your blood, bone marrow or lymphatic system. On this page, we'll explain what blood cancer means, outline the different types and tell you where you can find support.

Different types of stem cell therapies can treat blood cancers and blood disorders. If you have a diagnosis for a blood cancer or disorder, you might feel scared or overwhelmed about what happens next, but our information should help you feel more prepared and informed.
