The transplant and cellular therapy clinic of OU Health's Stephenson Cancer Center in Oklahoma City, providing bone marrow and blood stem cell transplants and CAR T-cell therapy.
This is not a private stem cell clinic but a hospital department. The Transplant and Cellular Therapy Clinic sits within OU Health's Stephenson Cancer Center, the academic cancer centre of the University of Oklahoma, at 800 North East 10th Street, Suite 2D, Oklahoma City. It treats adults with blood cancers and other blood disorders rather than offering injections for joint pain or general wellness.
The work described is conventional haematopoietic stem cell transplantation, the long-established form of stem cell medicine used in cancer care. OU Health states that it performs more than 100 stem cell transplants a year and has carried out thousands since the programme began in 1982. It describes itself as Oklahoma's only cellular therapy and comprehensive stem cell programme accredited by the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy.
Two types of transplant are described. In an autologous transplant (using the patient's own cells) the patient's own blood-forming cells are collected and returned, which the site says carries little to no risk of rejection or graft-versus-host disease; it is used mainly for lymphoma and multiple myeloma. In an allogeneic transplant (using cells from a donor) cells come from a related or unrelated donor, which the site says can produce a graft-versus-cancer effect; it is used for leukaemia, myelofibrosis and other cancers of the bone marrow. The programme also offers chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, usually shortened to CAR T-cell therapy, in which a patient's immune cells are modified to attack cancer.
The site describes a multidisciplinary team of haematology physicians, specially trained nurses, an in-house laboratory with molecular testing, and what it says is Oklahoma's only haematology nurse navigator. Individual physicians are listed through the centre's provider directory rather than on the clinic page itself. As a hospital service, treatment is billed through insurance; no prices are published, and patients would discuss cost with the hospital's financial team.
The conditions treated are blood cancers and blood disorders, as named by the centre.
The site describes a conventional haematopoietic (blood-forming) stem cell transplant programme accredited by the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy, together with CAR T-cell therapy.
Named clinicians are not listed on the clinic's own location page.
The clinic occupies Suite 2D at 800 North East 10th Street on the OU Health campus in central Oklahoma City, within the Stephenson Cancer Center. The site states the location is wheelchair accessible and gives hours of Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. Being part of an academic medical centre, it has access to inpatient transplant facilities, an in-house laboratory with molecular testing, and the wider cancer centre's services.
No prices are published. As a hospital service within an academic medical centre, transplant and cellular therapy are billed through medical insurance; the pages reviewed contain no cost or coverage information, so a patient would need to speak to OU Health about financial arrangements.
