Long-Term Follow-Up
We've found partnering with referring doctors and staying connected about our shared patients' leads to the best long-term results. Fred Hutch’s Long-Term Follow-Up (LTFU) Program for transplant recipients is unmatched. Our highly trained transplant specialists provide lifelong services—including telephone consultations and direct care—to patients and their doctors to prevent, manage and treat late effects and graft-versus-host-disease and consider alternatives for those whose disease recurs.

The Future of Transplantation Is Here
Fred Hutch teams first developed clinical use of bone marrow transplants more than 40 years ago, under the direction of E. Donnall Thomas, MD, who won a Nobel Prize for his groundbreaking work.
Today, we are advancing the use of stem cell transplantation for a broader array of diseases — not only leukemia, Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and multiple myeloma, but also other cancers, bone marrow deficiencies, inborn errors of metabolism and immune disorders.
