The Pediatric Stem Cell Transplantation program at Penn State Children's
Hospital provides comprehensive services to infants, children, adolescents and
young adults whose treatment requires transplant services. The Stem Cell
Transplant Program at Penn State Children's Hospital was established to allow
patients and their families to receive World Class Care while remaining close to
home.
Stem cell transplantation in cancer treatment makes it possible for patients
to receive higher doses of chemotherapy and/or radiation than would otherwise be
possible. It is used most often as a treatment modality when conventional
treatments have been unsuccessful in eradicating the cancer.
