Most patients don’t have a fully matched donor in their family — and that’s when they turn to Be The Match®. By joining the Be The Match Registry®, your tissue type will be included in the database. If you match a patient in need, there are two ways to donate. The patient’s doctor chooses the donation method that is best for the patient. 80% of donations are PBSC (peripheral blood stem cell) donations. It is a non-surgical, outpatient procedure. The donor receives a medication prior to donation that increases the number of cells in the bloodstream. The cells are then collected during donation. 20% of donations are Marrow donations. It is a surgical, outpatient procedure that takes place in a hospital operating room. While the donor is under anesthesia, doctors collect marrow from the back of their pelvic bone. 14,000 patients per year whose only hope for a cure is a transplant from someone outside their family.
