Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cord-blood banking may be useful for families with a history of leukemia because it can potentially provide a source of hematopoietic stem cells for transplantation in the event the child or a family member is diagnosed with the disease. It may also be useful for families with other blood disorders or genetic conditions that may require stem cell transplantation.
