The basics of Marrow
Things to know . . .
Reasons to hold a marrow drive:
› Patient Focused› Potential for large minority
turnout› Saturn National Donor Day› Thanks Mom!› National Initiative› Large Community Event
What do we need to plan a drive?
› Ideally 4 weeks notice needed
› Projected breakdown of demographics
› Funding. . .› Encourage blood
donation
Recruitment
› Increase minority recruitment› Make sure donors are fully
informed› Try to recruit committed donors
› If you are unsure of information – contact the Marrow Coordinator
How do people join the registry?
› Complete a registration form› Swab mouth with buccal swabs› Strongly encourage applicants to
donate blood if they are eligible
Points to keep in mind
› Donors must be between ages 18 and 60.
› It is $52 per donor to cover cost of HLA typing.
› If eligible donors are not willing to donate blood, chances are – they are not going to be willing to donate marrow.
Our position with the NMDP
› We are one of many Donor Centers
› This is a National registry of unrelated donors
› Donors are known by a number, not their SSN or name
› All donor demographics are kept confidential

Types of marrow donation
Traditional Marrow Donation VS.
PBSC (Peripheral Blood Stem Cells)
Traditional Marrow Donation
1. Surgical Procedure –performed in a hospital
2. Under Anesthesia3. Surgical needle
through back of pelvic bone
4. Soreness in lower back for a few days or longer.
PBSC Donation
1. Non-surgical out-patient procedure
2. Receives Filgrastim
3. Blood removed through sterile needle in one arm (much like apheresis)
4. May experience bone or muscle aches – symptoms reside after donation.
Additional Comments
› PBSC is requested about 70% of the time by physicians
› We cannot recruit donors by telling them that they may choose their donation process, this is up to the requesting physician
