Use of Cord Blood to Treat Childhood Leukemia: New Study
According to a recent study, children suffering from childhood leukemia can be treated with the child’s own cord blood cells with excellent chances of being cured. The revolutionary treatment was successfully conducted on a 3 year old baby girl when the baby was diagnosed with the most common type of childhood leukemia in children called acute lymphoblast leukemia in 2003. “There’s a good chance the procedure saved her life. She is in remission and has an excellent chance of being cured," said Ammar Hayani, the pediatric oncologist who treated the baby girl suffering from childhood leukemia at the Advocate Hope Children's Hospital in Oak Lawn, Ill. "We couldn't predict with any certainty whether the operation would be successful. We had no concrete data, but the parents felt very comfortable with it, so we went ahead." said Doctor Ammar Hayani in a recent interview.©
