Why Save Cord Blood with a Stem Cell Bank?

The collection of umbilical cord blood following the birth of your child is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Stem cells, like those found in umbilical cord blood, are the source of platelets and red blood cells in the bloodstream and are also building blocks for the body's immune system. Following disease or medical treatments such as radiation, stem cells are used to rebuild the body's blood and immune systems. The preferred treatment for certain diseases is an autologous transplant (the donor and the recipient are the same person). If a family member suffers from a disease such as leukemia that requires allogeneic (non-self) stem cell transplantation, doctors typically search within the family for a matching stem cell donor. If the donor's cord blood has been stored, there is immediate access to matching stem cells which can be removed from storage, thawed and made ready for transplantation. If the family member's cord blood has not been stored, the painful and costly procedure of collecting peripheral stem cells or bone marrow must be initiated. Currently, 15% of all allogeneic transplants in children now use stored umbilical cord blood. Umbilical cord blood preserved in our cord blood stem cell bank could someday be used to save the life of someone close to you.
