The haematology and stem cell transplantation service of the McGill University Health Centre, a university teaching hospital network in Montreal.

Medical Disclaimer: This profile is compiled for informational purposes only and is not medical advice, a clinical endorsement, or a statement that any treatment is proven or approved. Stem cell therapies vary widely in regulatory status and evidence. Consult a qualified physician before pursuing treatment.

Overview

The McGill University Health Centre is a university teaching hospital network in Montreal, Quebec. Its haematology division page states that stem cell transplantation is one of the division's programmes.

The site also states that the centre runs a provincially designated joint photopheresis programme, operated together with Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont, for the management of stem cell transplant patients. Photopheresis is a procedure in which a patient's own white blood cells are treated outside the body and returned.

Care is delivered at more than one site. The page gives contact details for the Glen site, which houses the Royal Victoria Hospital, on boulevard Décarie in Montreal, and for Lachine Hospital on 16e Avenue in Lachine. Referrals are made through the centre's referral portal.

The conditions the haematology page lists are blood disorders: haemophilia, sickle cell disease, anaemia, coagulation disorders, immune cytopenias, thrombosis, haemoglobinopathies and haematological complications in high-risk pregnancy. The page names Dr Jean-Pierre Routy as leading an immunodeficiency research team. The record's reference to a cellular therapy laboratory corresponds to a laboratory of the centre's research institute on a separate domain, which was not used as evidence here. The page makes no statement about cost.
