Adult Leukemia
The outlook for many adults with leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) is getting brighter every day--thanks to major breakthroughs that are being made and tested at the University of Chicago Comprehensive Cancer Center and other leading cancer centers. With one of the largest programs in the Chicago area, our leukemia specialists see more than 300 new patients age 16 and older every year.
On April 10, 2010, dozens of stem cell transplant recipients and their families gathered at the University of Chicago Medicine campus to share their stories of survival. Hear the stories from patients who have recovered from leukemia and other blood cancers thanks to stem cell transplants, the donors who provided stem cells to loved ones, and the medical staff that cared for them before, during and after the procedure.
