Our donor program is primarily allogeneic, but we process a few autologous donors every month. The autologous donors are not deferred by cancer as long as they meet the general requirements for donation. For allogeneic donors, our Medical Director updated the cancer deferral guidelines a few years ago: Melanoma: 10 years following removal and completeion of treatment with no reoccurrence Solid Organ Tumors: 5 years following removal and completion of treatment with no reoccurrence (includes Breast, Prostate, Lung, Colon, Ovary) Lymphoma: Permanent deferral Leukemia and other hematopoietic cancers: Permanent deferral
