A Stem Cell Bank Can Help You
Many parents wonder what a stem cell bank is and what it can do for them. There are many reasons to store your baby’s stem cells. The most important reason is that it could one day save your baby’s life. A stem cell bank can store your baby’s stem cells for as long as you need them. The actual procedure only takes about five minutes and is safe for both infant and mother. A stem call bank will preserve your baby’s stem cells should your baby or another family member need them for a stem cell transplant to treat a potentially life-threatening disease. Today, thousands of patients are searching for suitable stem cell units, such as those found in cord blood, to treat cancer or blood disorders. Unfortunately, despite 7 million donors on registry, more than 30% of patients requiring stem cell transplants are unable to find a suitable match. By banking your child’s stem cells you are securing perfectly matched stem cells that will be readily available should your child need them for a potentially lifesaving treatment.
