Advancements in the use of 'cord blood' are particularly significant for people of color, who are least likely to find a donor for a bone marrow transplant. According to one review study, about 29% of African American patients will find a probable donor.
"It was this sense of relief," he said."We have a chance for our family to be all together again."
"Cord blood has allowed us not only to expand the donor pool, which is incredibly important, but it's more than that. Actually, there might be some AML or acute myeloid leukemia patients for whom cord blood transplants are actually better," Roboz said."So the advance is not only to expand access, but to actually make transplant better, safer and more accessible, which is tremendous.
"There have been incredible, incredible changes in how we deal with things like graft versus host disease or complications related to transplant," Roboz said."Even beyond the initial matching process, the advances are tremendous. And I'll tell you, most people don't actually know that you're not definitely cured if you get a transplant. The assumption is, if you get a transplant, you're definitely cured except that isn't the case.
"You're not supposed to eat for about an hour or drink for about an hour ... and your mouth should be dry," Roboz explained before performing each swab.
