ABSTRACT

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) is a potentially lifesaving therapy for many patients with hematologic malignant and non-malignant disorders. Although a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched sibling is the preferred alloHCT donor source, the majority of patients in need of a transplant do not have a matched sibling and hence an alternative donor must be identified. The National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP)/Be The Match operates the world’s largest registry of adult volunteer donors and cord blood units. Here we review the early years of the NMDP, efforts to advance the field through research, and global collaborations to facilitate transplants for all patients in need.
