There are many benefits and reasons why you should continue to store your child’s cord blood, such as:
1. A guaranteed match for autologous transplants (where the donor and recipient are the same individuals)
2. A readily available supply of stored stem cells in time-critical situations when transplant is required.
3. Lower risk of Graft Versus Host Disease for autologous transplants.
4. Umbilical cord blood stem cells are younger and no chance to obtain your child’s cord blood again should you require it.
