DKMS – We defeat blood cancer

DKMS stands for the Deutsche Knochenmarkspenderdatei (German bone marrow donor file), which set itself the goal of finding a suitable donor for each blood cancer patient or of making the entrance for therapies possible – not only in Germany, but world-wide. It sees its main tasks in the following areas:

• Attracting attention to blood cancer diseases and their medical treatment
• Registration of potential stem cell donors to save the lives of patients
• Motivate the public and businesses to undertake registration actions
• Raising donations in the fight against blood cancer, for example to finance registration costs and support patients
• Support the further development of therapies against blood cancer – through its own research and state-of-the-art technology in our laboratory
• Maintaining a sustainable relationship with our donors from the day of registration
