The goal of this website is to provide
extensive information on leukemia, related blood diseases,
and bone marrow transplantation. While we cover many of the
important aspects of leukemia
(and related blood diseases), and explain when and how bone
marrow transplants are used, it is not possible to provide
the detailed disease and treatment information that each individual
may require. Users are encouraged to explore other websites
and written material, and to discuss specific issues with
a physician. Areas that we cover include:
Information is also
provided for potential donors
of bone marrow and/or leukocytes.
 Who The Program
Serves
This website is
intended to provide patients, families, physicians and health
care workers with information about the Leukemia/Bone Marrow
Transplant Program of British Columbia which operates out
of the Vancouver General Hospital (VGH) and the adjacent British
Columbia Cancer Agency (BCCA).
It is important
to note that the Program is only able to offer care
to patients residing in Canada. International users
may, however, find useful information which they can discuss
with their own physicians.
This site is intended
to provide general information. In many cases the treatment
of individual patients may differ from that described. At
all times patients should rely on the advice of their specialist,
who is the only person with full information about their diagnosis
and medical history.
The Leukemia/Bone Marrow Transplant Program of British
Columbia is a joint effort by the Vancouver General Hospital,
the British Columbia Cancer Agency, and the University of
British Columbia to provide the best possible medical care
and cutting edge research for patients with cancers of the
blood system.
