FDA-Approved Cord Blood Treatments
Cord blood stem cells are the key to unlocking a brighter and healthier future. Today’s treatment possibilities range from cancers to metabolic, immune, and blood disorders. However, active research in numerous clinical trials is constantly being done to make way for new treatment opportunities.
FDA-Approved Cord Blood Treatments
There are now over 80 medical conditions that can be treated with the hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) collected from cord blood. For some diseases, these treatments are the only therapy, and in other diseases, they are only employed when front-line therapies have failed or the disease is very aggressive. In the United States, most health insurance providers will pay for a stem cell transplant if it is a "standard therapy" for the patient's diagnosis.
