Department Summary


Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center leads the Southeast in using immunotherapy and cellular therapy for treating cancer. We perform more stem cell transplants than almost anyplace else in the nation. Cellular therapies treat certain life-threatening diseases. They are a type of immunotherapy; they help the immune system recognize and fight cancer cells. Stem cell transplantation (bone marrow transplant) is a type of cellular therapy. Stem cells are found in marrow, inside bones. They make cells that circulate in the bloodstream: red and white blood cells and platelets. A stem cell transplant treats blood cancers and some non-cancer conditions. Transplanting healthy stem cells into a person with diseased bone marrow restores the body’s ability to grow healthy blood cells. We are nationally recognized for our stem cell transplant programs to treat blood cancers.
