Hi, Beryl.
You can review the records of recent transplant outcomes for individual treatment centers. See
How to Understand NMDP Transplant Center Statistics on the website of the National Marrow Donor Program. The "transplant center listings" link on that page will take you to a directory of treatment centers. Keep in mind that statistics tell only a small part of the story, and may not be useful if based on only a few patients.
It's hard to get meaningful statistics on transplant survival that would apply to one patient for several reasons:
- MDS is a rare disease so there is not as much data available as there would be for more common diseases like leukemia or lymphoma
- Every patient is different in terms of the severity of their diseases, prior health issues, and the degree to which their donor is a match.
- Statistics reflect past treatments, and transplant procedures are constantly being improved.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Ruth
