About MedStar Georgetown University Hospital’s
Hematology / Blood and Marrow Transplant Unit - 2 Bles
2 Bles is an 18-bed, newly renovated, Hematology / Oncology / Blood and Marrow
Transplant Unit. 2 Bles is one of two adult inpatient oncology units at MedStar
Georgetown, caring for the patients of the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer
Center, established in 1971. Lombardi was initially designated by the National
Cancer Institute (NCI) in 1974 and achieved NCI comprehensive status in 1990.
The mission of Lombardi is to improve the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention
of cancer through innovative basic science, clinical research, patient care,
community outreach, and the training of cancer specialists of the future.
The patient population of 2 Bles includes all hematologic diseases and cancers
(leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, ITP, sickle cell anemia), autologous
PBSC transplant patients, oncologic solid tumor, and a wide range of medical
diagnoses. The nurses on 2 Bles provide expert care for their patients, often
utilizing a number of hematology / oncology research protocols. In the spring of
2013, MedStar Georgetown entered into an affiliation with Hackensack University
Medical Center (HUMC) to establish a Blood and Marrow Stem Cell Transplantation
Program. This agreement creates greater access to people with cancer, blood
diseases and immune deficiency conditions to receive lifesaving treatment in
the Washington, DC area. In 2016, the Blood and Marrow Stem Cell
Transplantation Program received FACT accreditation for autologous transplants.
