Cord Blood Banking OverviewWhat is cord blood banking? In its simplest terms, cord blood banking is the collection and storage of the stem cells found in your newborn's umbilical cord. Why Bank? Today, cord blood stem cells have been used successfully in the treatment of over 70 life-threatening diseases, including a wide range of cancers, genetic diseases, immune system deficiencies, and blood disorders. When you bank your baby's cord blood, you are making a choice that could potentially provide a lifesaving treatment for your child or a family member. Transplants using cord blood stem cells from a related family member are twice as successful than transplants using unrelated (public) cord blood.* |
