In collaboration with Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, an RWJBarnabas Health facility, the Transplant and Cellular Therapy Program at Rutgers Cancer Institute has been performing autologous and allogeneic stem cell transplants since 1995. Ours is the only such program in New Jersey offered at an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Rutgers Cancer Institute is also a certified Gene Therapy Treatment Center for adults and children with sickle cell anemia and beta-thalassemia.
The program treats patients with a number of illnesses including acute and chronic leukemias, myelodysplasia, lymphomas, Hodgkin disease, multiple myeloma, amyloidosis, and others. Our oncologists are experts in Blood and Marrow Transplants (BMT), CAR T-Cell therapy, cellular therapy and more.
The clinical and research interests of our clinicians focus on novel strategies to prevent graft-versus-host disease, improve umbilical cord blood transplants, and develop cellular therapies that are less toxic than standard transplants.
The Transplant and Cellular Therapy Program is accredited by the National Marrow Donor Program and the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT). It has been rated “Excellent” by the American College of Surgeons. We offer a full suite of oncology support services through which Oncology Nurse Navigators and transplant coordinators guide patients through treatment and beyond. Rutgers Cancer Institute also offers stem cell transplantation for children, adolescents and young adults with cancers and blood disorders through our Pediatric Stem Cell Transplantation and Cellular Therapies Program.
