       We pay much attention to keeping track of the latest progress of diagnosis and treatment of hematology diseases and established laboratory examination system in the 1990s, such as morphology, cell differentiation antigen examination, examination of molecular genetics, molecular biology, blooding and clotting disease, which rank the top in the southwest of China. It helps us diagnose accurately in order to individualize therapy and reduce cost for patients. We have carried out autologous bone marrow transplantation, autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for treatment of malignancies and some benign diseases in Sichuan province since1993 and reached the advanced level.

       The characteristics of our department: (1) allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation treatment for leukemia and other hematologic malignancies and severe aplastic anemia, and more than 30 such cases each year;(2) autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for treating some acute leukemia, malignant lymphoma and myeloma, and also more than 30 cases each year, whose curative effect is superior to the traditional radiation and chemotherapy;(3) relative allogeneic peripheral blood lymphocyte infusion for some blood malignancies;(4) treatment of molecular target and immunotherapy for some blood system tumor;(5) patients with severe immunodeficiency complex with severe, infectious diseases who accept treatment on sterile laminar beds;(6) peripheral component separation technique and plasma replacement for serious and refractory disease. The near future and long-term efficacy of above treatments has reached advanced level of Sichuan province.
