The publicly funded blood and marrow transplant and cellular therapy programme of London Health Sciences Centre in London, Ontario.
The Blood and Marrow Transplant Programme at London Health Sciences Centre serves patients in south-western Ontario. According to its page on the hospital's website, the programme provides consultation, evaluation, treatment and post-transplant care for people needing stem cell transplants, and sees roughly one hundred new transplant patients each year.
The site names three forms of treatment: allogeneic stem cell transplantation, meaning cells from a donor; autologous stem cell transplantation, meaning the patient's own cells; and CAR T-cell therapy, in which immune cells are used as the treatment.
Care is delivered across more than one hospital site. The site states that outpatient clinics run at the Verspeeten Family Cancer Centre, that inpatient treatment takes place on the seventh floor of Victoria Hospital's C-Tower in the inpatient oncology unit and day hospital, and that stem cell collection by apheresis and stem cell processing are carried out on site at Victoria Hospital.
The site names Dr Anargyros Xenocostas as the programme's lead and describes a multidisciplinary team of transplant physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, laboratory technologists, pharmacists, social workers, dietitians, occupational and physical therapists and administrative staff. It states that the programme was accredited by the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy in 2023. The page does not give a direct telephone number or a postal address, and says nothing about cost.
The programme page describes the transplant types offered rather than listing specific diseases, so no condition list can be reported from this page.
The site states that the programme carries out stem cell transplants using either the patient's own cells or a donor's, and also offers CAR T-cell therapy.
The programme operates across London Health Sciences Centre sites in London, Ontario. The site states that outpatient clinics are held at the Verspeeten Family Cancer Centre, that inpatient treatment takes place in the inpatient oncology unit and day hospital on the seventh floor of the C-Tower at Victoria Hospital, and that apheresis collection and stem cell processing facilities are located on site at Victoria Hospital.
