Bone Marrow Transplantation Center

In July 2010, under the founding directorship of Prof. Dr. Mutlu Arat, it started to provide services under the title of Hematological Stem Cell and Transplantation Center (HSCT) in Şişli Florence Nightingale Hospital within the Florence Nightingale Hospitals Group. As of December 2019, our center has performed 1106 SMT procedures.

Our center has successfully performed 90 transplants by the end of its first year. Our team, which performed the first allogeneic transplant from an unrelated donor in 2012, has given hope to over 600 patients (over 350 autologous, over 250 allogeneic) in 2016. By successfully performing the 1000th KIT procedure in February 2019, it has maintained its place among the top 3 in Istanbul and the top 5 in Turkey since its establishment.

A strong team ensures high success rates.

Serving over 140 national and international patients each year, our center provides effective treatment for cancer diseases related to the bone marrow, as well as some bone marrow failure diseases and immune system deficiencies. As one of the 8 centers with which the Turkish Hematology Association has a project partnership, we continue our presence in the scientific field both domestically and abroad in addition to our service activities.


At the KIT Center, we work with the awareness that treatment requires dedication and a harmonious teamwork, and we are always with our patients in all processes before and after transplantation, with our colleagues consisting of 4 expert hematologists and experienced nurses. As a natural reflection of this, our first-year survival rates have reached a high success rate of 88% in autologous KIT patients and 77% in allogeneic KIT patients.

A center that is always next to the patient.

We are trying to respond to the increasing number of patient applications to our Bone Marrow Center without compromising our quality. For this purpose, our center provides transplantation services to all SSI and privately insured cases without any additional fee. Complications related to transplantation are under the responsibility of our center and are always paid and processed within the scope of SSI.
