Through internally initiated studies and affiliations with research organizations including the Children's Oncology Group y la Blood and Marrow Clinical Trials Network, the program remains at the forefront of transplantation research and technology. Treatment advances from studies overseen at Dana-Farber and Children's have led to international recognition of the program as one of the most accomplished pediatric transplant centers in the world.
DF/CHCC also offers several programs for survivors of stem cell transplantation. Dana-Farber's David B. Perini, Jr. Quality of Life Clinic helps survivors of childhood cancer address the long-term effects of their therapy. The Clinic includes special programs to ease patients' transition to post-transplant life, such as the Programa de enlace escolar. In addition, Dana-Farber offers a multidisciplinary clinic staffed by nutritionists, endocrinologists, physical therapists, dermatologists, psychologists and social workers for childhood cancer survivors of all ages, as well as a special follow-up clinic for stem cell transplant patients.
