How to Join the Registry

Every year, thousands of patients with blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma, sickle cell anemia, and 70 other life-threatening diseases search the national Be The Match Registry to find a blood stem cell match.

The more potential donors who include themselves on the registry, the greater the likelihood of finding a life-saving match for a searching patient.
