Resources

The National Bone Marrow Transplant Link is dedicated to helping those in need face the challenges ahead. We work with hospitals, cancer centers, and other organizations that share the concerns of patients, their caregivers and families. Our services reinforce and complement medical care.

To provide such crucial information and support, nbmtLINK has created a number of unique resources to meet your needs. Our publications are available online for you to read, download, or print out. Or, if you want hard copies, you may order any of the booklets for a small charge. Our webcasts contain helpful information on topics such as caregiving for a bone marrow transplant patient and chronic Graft Versus Host Disease. Our Online Library consists of hundreds of journal articles, booklets and reference materials relating to bone marrow/stem cell transplant issues. And if you still have not found the information you need, feel free to contact our staff with any questions.
