Is This Test Right For Me?
It is a once in a lifetime chance for your extended family members to benefit from the opportunity of having access to a pristine and precious source of stem cells which has several advantages compared to other sources.
Significant Need for Stem Cells

Below is the risk of an individual being diagnosed of common blood cancers at some point in a lifetime*:

Leukemia: 1 in 62

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma: 1 in 48

Myeloma: 1 in 125

India has a high burden of inherited red cell diseases such as Thalassemia & Sickle Cell Disease (2.5 Lakh patients) where stem cell transplant is the only curative treatment option

Cord is Easier to Match

For stem cell matching there are between 6-10 parameters that need to be matched, with each parameter having between 2000-4000 variants.

Adult bone marrow requires 9-10 parameters to be matched.

However Umbilical Cord Blood requires only 6-8 parameters to be matched thereby making it 10-100x more easier to find a match.

Readily Available & No Additional Cost

Umbilical Cord blood stem cells being frozen are 100% available and ready for immediate release. Further withdrawal of matching units from the community inventory is totally free.

Even in advanced countries like the US about 50% of registered adult donors back out at the time of medical need. In some cases, since the donor is required to travel, there could be delays in access. Further there are significant costs in making arrangements for sourcing these cells.

Extend the life-saving benefits of community stem cell banking to your extended family members

Community cord blood banking has the benefits of both private banking and public banking and hence is a superior option.

No wonder it’s supported by leading medical experts unlike private banking which has been criticised- as inherited disorders make it unfit for baby’s own use & can only be withdrawn once for family use.

Public cord blood banks in India have limited inventory and are not growing due to lack of financial aid. Further they charge upto ₹10 lakhs for releasing a matching unit.
Increasing Success Rates with Cord Blood

Success rates for cord blood transplants are improving with each passing year due to innovations such as:

Improved chemotherapy regimens that have led to lower transplant related mortality, lesser rejections, earlier patient discharge and lower complications

Multiplying the number of cord blood stem cells in the lab or supplementing them with other stem cell sources has shown to accelerate the time to immune recovery without increase in side effects
