Fairfax Stem Cell Transplant

Fairfax Stem Cell

Thousands of cancer patients undergo stem cell transplants each year, giving them renewed hope for a longer life. 

The Stem Cell Transplant Program at Fairfax offers transplant services through a unique partnership between Virginia Cancer Specialists and the Inova Health System. The types of transplants the Program offers includes: 

• Autologous Transplant – A method by which to safely deliver high-dose chemotherapy. Your own stem cells are harvested prior to chemotherapy and then re-infused after chemotherapy is completed.
• Allogeneic Transplant – A method by which high-dose chemotherapy is delivered followed by re-infusion stem cells from a donor other than yourself.
  • Related Donor
  • Matched Unrelated Donor (MUD)
• Non-myelobalative/Reduced Intensity Chemotherapy (RIC) – A type of allogeneic transplant which uses a modified or reduced dose of chemotherapy.
