A high-volume publicly funded haematopoietic cell transplant programme at Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont in Montreal, part of the CIUSSS de l'Est-de-l'Île-de-Montréal.
Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont in Montreal runs a haematopoietic cell transplant programme within the CIUSSS de l'Est-de-l'Île-de-Montréal, Quebec's east-end integrated health and social services centre. According to the programme page, it carries out between 185 and 200 transplants a year and serves local, regional and supra-regional populations.
The site describes two forms of transplant. In an autologous transplant, the patient's own cells are harvested before high-dose chemotherapy and returned afterwards to restart bone marrow function. In an allogeneic transplant, cells come from a healthy donor or from umbilical cord blood, and the site says this is used to treat serious diseases, particularly blood cancers.
The page also sets out how cells are collected: from the bloodstream using apheresis equipment, by bone marrow aspiration carried out under anaesthesia, or from umbilical cord blood. It describes the programme as integrating hospital care units, oncology centres, apheresis services and transplant coordination departments.
The page gives a direct telephone extension and fax number. It does not name individual physicians, does not state accreditation on that page, and says nothing about cost; the service sits within Quebec's publicly funded health system. The site is published in French.
The page states that the procedure treats bone marrow and immune system disorders, most often with the aim of curing the underlying condition.
The site states that the programme transplants haematopoietic cells taken either from the patient or from a healthy donor or umbilical cord blood, collected by apheresis, bone marrow aspiration or cord blood harvest.
The programme page does not name individual physicians.
