A member asked:
What do you think about cord banking? is it worth the money? how often does a patient use it/need it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cord banking: Umbilical cord blood contains immature stem cells, which may be useful later in life to treat certain diseases. Although it is currently possible to use them to treat some hematologic blood diseases, the promise of using stem cells to treat diseases is still mostly in the future, and has not yet proven useful in most diseases. I am cautiously optimistic that this will be useful in the future.
