What are the chances that we would have to use the stored cord blood stem cells?

A study has shown that the older we get, the higher the chances of cancer and the probability of having a stem cell transplant increases as well.

In the United States, 1 in 217* people will have a stem cell transplant by the age of 70. Hence, cord blood that you are storing from your child could potentially be used for an immediate family member in the future.
