Bone Marrow Transplant Program

Volumes and outcomes

 

The first bone marrow transplant at Mayo Clinic occurred in 1963. Mayo's physicians have performed nearly 11,750 procedures since the program began in 1972.

Mayo Clinic doctors' experience and integrated team approach result in transplant outcomes that compare favorably with national averages. Teams work with transplant recipients before, during and after your transplant to ensure the greatest likelihood of superior results.

Volumes and statistics are maintained separately for each Mayo Clinic location. Taken together or separately, transplant patients at Mayo Clinic enjoy excellent results.

Each of the links below connects to an external site, Be the Match, which hosts transplant survival data gathered from institutions across the United States.
