Database of Autotransplants for Breast Cancer.

Abstract

The Autologous Blood and Marrow Transplant Registry (ABMTR) is a voluntary organization of over 200 autotransplant centers that contribute clinical data on consecutive autotransplant recipients to a Statistical Center at the Medical College of Wisconsin. The ABMTR's database includes information for more than 11,000 women receiving autotransplants for breast cancer. According to data reported to the ABMTR, breast cancer is the most coinmon indication for blood and marrow transplantation (allogeneic or autologous) in North America. The current contract facilitates numerous enhancements to the ABMTR's clinical database, statistical support services and informational programs. These include collection of socioeconornic and clinical data on women receiving autotransplants for breast cancer and institutional data on centers doing transplants, streamlining data entry and management, development of appropriate statistical techniques for analyzing posttransplant data, and expansion of programs to provide access to collected data for patients, physicians and others involved in caring for women with breast cancer.
