Leukemia and lymphoma baby boomers have new hope

A new ray of hope has been shown by doctors of Loyola University Hospital. Patients who are above sixty and suffering from chronic diseases like leukemia and lymphoma are considered ineligible for the umbilical cord blood stem cells transplant. However, according to Loyola hospital doctors, it can offer treatment to patients even in their sixties or early seventies. The reason quoted by the director of Loyola Cancer Center was that most of the aged people today are much concerned about their health. They do exercises, run marathons and therefore have developed the ability to live for a longer time period.

This is the reason that it is safe for them to receive a transplant of stem cells just like teenagers. The median age of patients when they suffer from blood cancer is 65 to 68. Those who have this cancer and undergo conventional surgical methods possess less than five percent survival rate for five years. However, in Loyola six out of seven patients who have undergone this cord blood stem cells transplants are showing better performance than expected. A fact that becomes integral to know at this point is the stem cell transplantation is very risky and an exhausting treatment. 

The patient is given chemotherapy and also radiation for the destruction of cancer cells.  This also damages the cells of immune system of the patient. For that, sufferer is induced with donor stem cells that further develop into immune system cells.  Beside these the body might also develop several infections until immune system gets developed completely.  Once immune system gets developed under some conditions, it might attack own body. This is called graft vs. host disease. As a result, several drugs are provided that further boost the risks of many infections. Donor cells are taken from bone marrow or from umbilical cord storage.

Cord blood transplant is considered safe on the baby boomers than bone marrow transplant. Only ten percent of people with cord transplant develop graft vs. host disease as compared to fifty percent with bone marrow. However, a small quantity of stem cells is derived form cord blood which further increases the time limit to develop immune system. The center is involved in a medical trial in which cord blood is sent to laboratory to double the stem cell count. Loyola has cured more than 3000 patients till now and is one of the largest donor programs in the whole world. It has performed above ninety transplants. Moreover, it is the center’s experience that decides the success rate of the transplant.

A story about Raphaella

Hi, I am Cameron mother of Raphaella living in California. My entire family wishes Cryo Cell a good luck for providing such valuable and useful services to the people. Raphaella is my only son and we did not have any knowledge about such kind of services. Few days back, I listened from my friend about the benefits of Cryo Cell and we were delighted on hearing such great information. I did an extensive research on internet and found about everything about their services. The cord blood donation is a wonderful service and cord blood is actually a unique kind of blood which is often found in umbilical code during the delivery. I always pray to God about the lifelong good health of my child. Sometimes, situations are not in our hands and for that time if a child needs any kind of chemotherapy or radiations related therapy, it can work wonders.

It is my suggestion to all parents that they must donate cord blood to the cord blood bank in order to keep a safe side. One can donate cord blood in the private bank of Cryo Cell which they preserve for further use. It provides a sense of relaxation that cord blood is there which means a lot. I have kept umbilical cord blood in the blood bank of Cryo Cell and as told by doctors, the blood in umbilical cord can be used to treat more than 80 diseases. I am thankful to Cryo Blood Cell as I know that they have cord blood collection which we can use in future in case of any kind of emergency.

It is my request to do extensive research on these really wonderful services in order to gather more information about this. The cord blood of baby is highly rich in stem cells. The same stem cells are present in the bone marrow of human beings. Actually stem cells are also considered as master cells which help in producing mature cells in the immune system and in our blood. Therefore, it can be said that cord blood stem cells may easily be used to treat several kinds of diseases, even very acute diseases.

As I am satisfied, you can also be satisfied by using America’s most established family cord blood bank services. The research is still going to find more benefits of cord blood stem cells. The cord blood collection is a great source for your child’s health and you can remain without tension for entire life, just like me.
