## TL;DR

The UK branch of DKMS, a charity that recruits people aged 16 to 55 onto the blood stem cell donor register so that patients with blood cancer who have no family match can find a donor.

## Summary

DKMS UK says it is fighting blood cancer and wants as many people as possible to join the blood stem cell donor register; people aged 16 to 55 in general good health may be able to register. Its donors are listed internationally through the DKMS Registry. With Leukaemia UK and Anthony Nolan it has called on NHS England to review its policy on second stem cell transplants after relapse.
