Anthony Nolan Resources: Understanding stem cell transplants

If you or someone close to you needs a stem cell transplant, it's natural to feel worried, confused or daunted by what’s going to happen next and you might have lots of unanswered questions.

Finding out information about transplant can be empowering and help build your confidence to tackle the situation head on.

Our resources can help you understand what stem cells do and why they are so important. There is information on how we search our registry for stem cell donors and possible alternatives if a donor can’t be found straightaway. We also look at options in the rare circumstance that funding for a transplant isn’t initially available.
