The Key to Health with a Cord Blood Bank
Expecting parents can now bank the most stem cells possible through LifebankUSA, a leading cord blood bank that enables parents to bank stem cells from 2 sources: the placenta and the cord blood. This unique placenta-derived stem cell and cord blood bank option can provide expecting parents with the potential to bank the most CD34+ stem cells possible—and more CD34+ stem cells have been shown to improve transplant success and patient survival in the treatment of potentially life-threatening diseases and conditions. Recently, the older brother of a baby whose placenta-derived stem cells and cord blood stem cells were banked with this innovative cord blood bank underwent a transplant using both placenta-derived and cord blood units to treat a potentially fatal type of leukemia. “The patient is doing extremely well and, in fact, was discharged from the hospital one-to-two weeks earlier compared to traditional cord blood transplants,” said Lolie C. Yu, M.D., who led this groundbreaking transplant.
