A lawsuit against a stem cell transplant program in Kansas City, Mo., alleges it failed to ensure its stem cells were in good condition and concealed problems from patients. About one-fourth of the patients died within 100 days of their transplants from complications, infections or the return of their cancer, the program's documents show. Many of the plaintiffs learned of the problems only years later, after a lab technician who also was a patient found out about an expert's confidential report.
