- Description (Summary)
- There are two main purposes or parts of this study. The first part is to study the biology of blood cells from transplant patients and blood cells from the donors. Patients may be on the first part of the study without being on the second part. The second part of this study is looking at donors with special cancer-fighting cells with unique proteins on their surface called Killer Immunoglobulin-like Receptors, or KIRs. In this part of the study we are looking to see if patients receiving transplants from half-matched (haploidentical) related donors that have certain KIR types will have better results than those patients transplanted using other KIR types.

Why participate in clinical trials?
"The steady improvement in survival for children with cancer is a direct result of their enrollment onto clinical trials; without which we would remain decades behind in terms of scientific advances in pediatric cancer." ~Michael J. Burke, MD
