Bone Marrow Transplant for Pediatric Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

(DLBCL, FL, MCL)
Sheba Medical Center – Advanced, Personalized Transplant Care for Children

At Sheba Medical Center, we understand that a diagnosis of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) in a child, including Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL), Follicular Lymphoma (FL), and Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) is life-changing for the entire family.

When standard treatments are not enough, bone marrow transplantation (BMT) may offer a powerful and potentially curative option for children and adolescents.

Our pediatric transplant program combines world-class medical expertise, advanced technology, and a family-centered approach designed to support both the child and their loved ones throughout the entire journey.

When is a Bone Marrow Transplant Needed?

In pediatric NHL, a bone marrow transplant may be recommended when:

The lymphoma returns after initial treatment (relapsed disease)
The disease does not respond fully to standard therapies (refractory disease)
A more intensive treatment is needed to achieve long-term remission

The goal of BMT is to replace the affected bone marrow with healthy stem cells, allowing the child’s body to rebuild a new, healthy immune system capable of fighting the disease.

Types of Transplant

At Sheba, each child receives a personalized treatment plan based on their condition and medical needs:

Autologous Transplant (Child’s Own Cells)

Most commonly used in pediatric relapsed lymphoma, this approach uses the child’s own stem cells. They are collected, safely stored, and returned after high-dose therapy.

Allogeneic Transplant (Donor Cells)

Used in selected high-risk cases, this approach uses stem cells from a donor to build a new immune system that can also help fight lymphoma.

Finding the Right Donor

A suitable donor is a key part of successful treatment.

Whenever possible, a matched family donor (such as a sibling) is preferred. If this is not available, Sheba Medical Center works to identify the best possible alternative:

Matched unrelated donors from international registries
Haploidentical (half-matched) family donors
Cord blood units

Advanced laboratory testing ensures precise matching to improve safety and outcomes for children.

Specialized Pediatric Transplant Care

Children undergoing BMT at Sheba are treated in dedicated pediatric transplant units designed specifically for young patients. Care includes:

Child-friendly, highly protected environments
Advanced infection prevention systems
Individualized treatment protocols for pediatric lymphoma
Continuous monitoring by pediatric transplant specialists

Our approach is carefully adapted to the needs of growing children.
