Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center Long-Term Follow-Up
Fred Hutch has two Long-Term Follow-Up (LTFU) programs focused on patients who have undergone a bone-marrow or stem-cell transplant and immunotherapy. Services for both programs are provided through the Fred Hutch clinic.
Life-Long Monitoring
Fred Hutch’s Blood and Marrow Transplantation Long-Term Follow-Up (LTFU) Program provides life-long monitoring and care for patients following a bone-marrow or stem-cell transplant. Our physicians and researchers work in partnership with a patient's personal doctor to resolve medical problems and gather information for research. This information is used to develop improved strategies for preventing and treating the long-term effects of transplantation, and to educate patients about post-transplant problems.
Ongoing Monitoring and Care
Fred Hutch's Cellular Immunotherapy Long-Term Follow-Up (LTFU) program provides monitoring and care for patients following Cellular Immunotherapy. Our clinicians and researchers work in partnership with patients’ personal doctors and other healthcare providers to resolve medical problems that may develop after cellular immunotherapy and gather information for research.
2022 Blood and Marrow Transplant Reunion
We welcomed more than 300 guests to share, learn and celebrate BMT survivors. We also honored Dr. Mary Flowers for her more than 30 years as director of the Long-Term Follow-Up clinical program.
As you have experienced, patients come to Fred Hutch seeking hope and we are committed to delivering personalized care with warmth and compassion in a world-class institution. Our work never stops, and that’s why we rely on generous support from our community. Please consider making a gift with someone in your circle who is passionate about ending cancer.
Workshops from the reunion event are available to view online.
