Bone Marrow Transplant UnitThis is one of the largest adult and paediatric Bone Marrow Transplant Units in Australia and offers all treatment modalities for adult bone marrow transplantation.
There is a large bone marrow and cellular therapies laboratory and bone marrow techniques utilised include autologous, allogeneic and matched unrelated transplantation. Stem cell procedures are also common practice.
The Cancer Care Referral Centre is responsible for all outpatients cared for in the Haematology Bone Marrow Transplant, Medical Oncology and Radiation Oncology departments. It also acts as an admission centre during business hours for patients requiring urgent assessment and possible admission and investigation.
The radiation treatment floor is now situated on Level 3, Joyce Tweddell Building and has amalgamated all the treatment and planning functions, which were formerly in separate areas.
The Day Therapy Unit provides services to enable patients to remain in the community while receiving treatment. A range of treatments and services are offered to patients requiring chemotherapy, transfusions and apheresis services.
The Queensland Haemophilia Centre works closely with a similar centre at the Royal Children's Hospital centre and provides comprehensive care for those with inherited bleeding disorders in Queensland and Northern NSW.
Care includes medical, nursing, counselling, physiotherapy and orthopaedic care. Outreach clinics are conducted at Gold Coast, Toowoomba, Nambour, Cairns and Townsville. The Haemophilia Nurse Consultant in the Cancer Care Day Therapy Unit coordinates day care.
