Transplantation and Research: Umbilical Cord Blood
Tracking # 20-945331
Course overview
In 1992, the first successful stem cell transplant was performed using umbilical cord blood (UCB) instead of bone marrow in a patient with leukemia. Since then, over 100,000 stem cell transplants have been performed using stem cells from cord blood (Health Resources & Services Administration [HRSA], 2022a). Thousands of Americans, many of them children, die each year waiting for a stem cell transplant. Transplantation using stem cells from UCB can reduce the number of those who are waiting. With proper counseling, parents can make informed decisions regarding cord blood donation.
