China's Hematology Sector: Global Standing

China has achieved world-class leadership in hematology, driven by massive clinical volumes and breakthrough research in blood disorders. According to The Lancet Hematology and ASH Global Research Report 2023:

#1 globally in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCT) volume (12,500+ annually)
#2 worldwide in CAR-T therapy clinical trials (38% of global studies)
Pioneering innovations in gene-edited HSCT and thrombotic microangiopathy management

Key Strengths:

✔ HSCT Advancements: 95% survival for matched sibling transplants

✔ CAR-T Dominance: Relapse-free rates of 74% for refractory lymphoma (world record)

✔ Traditional Medicine Integration: Artemisinin derivatives for thrombocytopenia

✔ National Cord Blood Bank: World's largest repository (1.2 million units)

While Western centers lead in rare coagulation disorders, China dominates:

High-volume leukemia/lymphoma treatment
Cost-effective CAR-T manufacturing
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) research
