Success earns confidence from transplant experts and parents. |

(The following information about our parent company is intended to show you
that, through our relationship with StemCyte, we are the right choice for your
family.)
StemCyte, the parent company of StemCyte Family, has extensive transplant
experience in unrelated patients. This is far more difficult to perform
successfully than the perfectly matched related cord blood transplants that
family cord blood banks have mostly, or exclusively, performed.
Despite contributing to the more difficult, unrelated transplants, the
transplant success rate with StemCyte units has been outstanding, even in adults
up to 220 pounds. Adult transplants are more difficult because the larger the
body mass being transplanted, the more viable stem cells are needed to increase
the odds of success.
Few family cord blood banks have much transplant experience. By contrast,
StemCyte has supplied units for 800 transplants, and with this number
growing higher everyday, this is more experience than all other family cord
blood banks combined.
Not only have StemCyte cord blood units achieved outstanding transplant
success rates, they exhibit excellent speed in reconstituting bone marrows. Cord
blood units from StemCyte have successfully reconstituted bone marrows and
produced adequate white blood cells and platelets in as little as one month in
unrelated patients. This is a rare accomplishment for cord blood transplants.
Fast bone marrow reconstitution means that the patient will less likely suffer
from dangerous, life-threatening infections or bleedings. The success of the
cord blood transplants results from our Stem
Cell Optimization Process and excellent tissue typing (HLA) techniques.
Cord blood units from StemCyte International Cord Blood Center have also been
used successfully in the newest kind of unrelated cord blood transplants:
multi-unit transplants where two cord blood units are used together to increase
the number of stem cells--considered to be one of the most exciting
breakthroughs for adult stem cell transplantation.
To date, more than 70 diseases have been successfully treated with stem cells. These include cancers (leukemias, lymphomas, myelomas), blood disorders (thalassemias, sickle cell anemia, Fanconi anemia), and immune deficiency diseases.
