A cord blood transplant is a medical procedure that uses stem cells collected from the umbilical cord and placenta after a baby is born. These stem cells can help treat various diseases, including certain types of cancer, blood disorders, and immune system conditions. The process involves collecting the cord blood, processing it, and then storing it for future use. During the transplant, the collected stem cells are infused into a patient’s bloodstream. The goal is for these cells to migrate to the bone marrow and produce healthy blood cells. This treatment can be a vital option for patients who need a bone marrow transplant but do not have a suitable donor.
