Who knows what the future still holds, but it looks promising
Blood stem cell transplants have been performed for more than 50 years and have been
used to treat or cure more than 80 potentially life threatening blood related diseases like
leukaemia, lymphoma and bone marrow failures.
Within the Cryo-Save Group internationally, there have been 18 stem cell releases to date - to centres such
as Duke University North Carolina, USA, Kliniek Pediatrische Hematologie en Oncologie Frankfurt, Germany and
Kinderspital Zurich, Switzerland.
One cord blood unit was released from cryo-save sa, which was for
diagnostic genetic testing for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
This confirms that the cryo-save south africa laboratory aligns with
international standards, validating the standards of our cord blood products.
