Thompson Cancer Survival Center in Knoxville is the only East Tennessee stem cell transplant program ever to earn accreditation and reaccreditation from the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy.

This FACT accreditation attests that the Thompson stem cell transplant program's clinical and technical excellence are among the best in the nation. So East Tennessee patients who need high-dose chemotherapy don't have to travel far from home at a time when they need the comfort and support family and friends can provide.

Thompson's Fellowship Center provides free accommodation for patients and family members from outside the Knoxville area.

More than 160 multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, leukemia, Hodgkin's disease and testicular cancer patients have received stem cell transplants at Thompson with excellent outcomes.

Stem cell transplant therapy at Thompson takes 45 to 60 days of outpatient or inpatient treatment. Each patient's referring physician is fully informed about every step of the procedure. After the process is successfully completed, patients return to their regular physician for follow-up care.

Many national and regional health insurers cover stem cell transplant therapy, and Thompson is included in most networks as an autologous stem cell transplant center.

The Thompson Stem Cell Transplant program is located at the Thompson downtown facility at 1915 White Ave., Knoxville, TN. For more information about the program, please call 865-541-2161.
