New use of cord blood to treat childhood leukemia: study

These parents had the foresight to save their child's umbilical cord stem cells.

Quote:

CHICAGO: A three-year-old leukemia victim was given a life-saving infusion of her own cord blood, marking the first time a child with this disease served as their own blood donor, American doctors said Thursday.

The little girl is now a thriving six-year-old six -- a tribute, say her doctors, to the pioneering transplant that helped her recover from radical chemotherapy

Hopefully, someday this procedure won't be labeled "risky" and "controversial" but routine, standard care.
