Tests for Bone Marrow Transplants
We provide custom consultations
focused on the study, diagnosis and treatment of the
blood, blood-forming tissues, disorders affecting them,
cancerous and non-cancerous tumors.
The Feist-Weiller Cancer Center has expanded its bone
marrow transplant program with additional faculty
members, new clinics and new research approaches. It is
currently the only center performing both autologous and
allogeneic transplants in the state. FWCC is a major
center for the treatment of acute leukemia and
aggressive lymphoma, refractory malignancies and offers
new and novel treatments for hematological malignancies.
Approximately 160 new acute leukemia cases are seen each
year in Louisiana.
Molecular pathology testing in this specialty area is
extensive including, but not limited to, tests for
diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic monitoring in
hematologic disease pre- and post-transplant. |
