    • Abstract:
      Wilford Hall Medical Center (WHMC), at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, is the only center within the U.S. Department of Defense at which allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is performed. From the inception of the BMT program in 1987 through February 1999, 286 military health care beneficiaries have undergone human leukocyte antigen-matched related donor allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for hematologic disorders. We conducted a retrospective chart review to analyze the outcomes of all allogeneic BMT procedures performed at WHMC through February 1999. Our analysis revealed that allogeneic BMT outcomes compared favorably with those reported by the International Bone Marrow Transplant Registry. The results of this study support the continued designation of the Fisher Bone Marrow Transplant Center at WHMC as a specialty treatment service within the Department of Defense.
