Introduction
The Blood & Marrow Transplantation (BMT) Center of Chonnam National University Hwasun Hospital is recognized nationally for excellence in clinical services and researches related to childhood and adult diseases which can benefit from stem cell transplantations. The faculty members are among the nation's best trained, as reflected in their authorship of major reports of basic and clinical research in leading journals, receipt of research funds and receipt of national recognition for achievements. Since the first BMT for aplastic anemia in 1991, this team has performed more than 900 cases of transplants with annual transplant cases of 90-100. A fourth of them are children. Equipped with newly built spacious and modern laminar air flow rooms with 12beds, our center will serve as the largest transplant center outside Seoul.
All types of transplants have been successfully undertaken including allogeneic matched related transplants, autologous transplants, unrelated bone marrow transplants, unrelated cord blood transplants and partially matched transplants. For adults, the followings are the list of diseases that may benefit from BMT: acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL), aplastic anemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and myelodysplastic syndromes. For children, ALL, AML, aplas tic anemia, neuroblastoma, lymphoma, Ewing's sarcoma and PNET, recurrent Wilms' tumor and rhabdomyosarcoma are the list of diseases. Moreover, many severe immunodeficiency syndromes as well as metabolic storage diseases are curable by stem cell transplantations.
The team participate in a wide variety of national and international collaborative studies for clinical and biomedical research. By participation in the Genome Research Center, the faculty members are actively involving at understanding the nature of hematologic malignancies with the aim of using this knowledge to increase the cure rates. New approaches employ novel immunotherapy using dendritic cells and natural killer cells. To achieve the mission of eliminating cancer as a cause of human suffering and death, we, the transplant members, would like to do our best in patient care as well as research.
