New call for government action on stem cell transplants

For people with blood cancer, a stem cell transplant can be a lifesaving milestone, but it isn’t the end of the road. Most patients face long-term health complications, and tragically, one third do not survive their first year post-transplant.

 

We believe in a future in which every patient receives a successful transplant. Anthony Nolan's "Destination Cure" campaign calls for urgent action from the Government to help us achieve this vision. By investing in infrastructure that accelerates pioneering research, we can understand more about the factors that affect transplant survival rates.

 

We’re also calling for investment to help us find the best possible donor for every patient, and for a fully-funded national care pathway to ensure every patient returns to good health and a good quality of life.
