Umbilical cord blood stem cell transplant is a relatively new addition to modern treatment options for cancers and immune system diseases. Transplants using stem cells derived from bone marrow have been in use for some time, but recent studies have shown that transplants using stem cells derived from umbilical cord blood have more advantages.
For one, the availability of umbilical cord blood from a cord blood bank can save lives in cases where patients are unable to locate a matching bone marrow donor. Approximately half of the patients who need a bone marrow transplant fail to locate a matching donor when it is most critical that they find one. In contrast, children with banked cord blood are guaranteed an exact stem cell match when they need it. Children’s banked stem cells are also likely to provide suitable matches for parents, siblings, and other relatives.
LifebankUSA® provides more information on umbilical cord blood banking and offers a unique service that can almost double the amount of potentially lifesaving stem cells collected from cord blood banking alone. This Placenta-Cord banking service harvests CD34+ stem cells from both the umbilical cord and placenta.
“I recommend banking placenta-derived stem cells and cord blood because it gives you the most cells possible—including more of the stem cells that matter most for a potentially lifesaving transplant. LifebankUSA is the only cord blood banking company that provides placenta-derived stem cells and cord blood stem cell banking to families.”
—Mitchell S. Cairo, MD | Chief of the Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplantation Division at the Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital of New York-Presbyterian and Professor of Pediatrics, Medicine and Pathology at Columbia University and a pioneer in the use of cord blood stem cells for transplant.
"I am a repeat LifebankUSA customer. This time around, we had the chance to bank both placenta-derived stem cells and cord blood. Only LifebankUSA offered this option. My wife and I wanted the best protection for our family, so we banked both. We have greater peace of mind knowing we collected the most cells possible. Thank you LifebankUSA."
