  1. The basics of Marrow Things to know . . .

  2. Reasons to hold a marrow drive: • Patient Focused • Potential for large minority turnout • Saturn National Donor Day • Thanks Mom! • National Initiative • Large Community Event

  3. What do we need to plan a drive? • Ideally 4 weeks notice needed • Projected breakdown of demographics • Funding. . . • Encourage blood donation

  4. 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

  5. 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

  6. 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.

  7. 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

  8. Branch Contacts Communication with Coordinator Inventory of marrow supplies Keeping post-drive materials in order Send these back to Coordinator in a timely fashion Coordinator Finalize Drive File Send Supplies Review Consents Enter Donors Send Welcome Letters Contact Donors if applicable Responsibilities of Marrow Coordinator and of branch holding marrow drive

  9. Search Stages: DR HR – High Resolution CT – Confirmatory Testing Contact Donor Assess continued interest Complete HHQ Notify NMDP What happens when someone become a potential match?

  10. Types of marrow donation Traditional Marrow Donation VS. PBSC (Peripheral Blood Stem Cells)

  11. Traditional Marrow Donation • Surgical Procedure –performed in a hospital • Under Anesthesia • Surgical needle through back of pelvic bone • Soreness in lower back for a few days or longer.

  12. PBSC Donation • Non-surgical out-patient procedure • Receives Filgrastim • Blood removed through sterile needle in one arm (much like apheresis) • May experience bone or muscle aches – symptoms reside after donation.

  13. 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
