Diseases Treated by Stem Cells
Since 1988, umbilical cord blood has been used successfully to treat patients with leukemia, anaemias and other blood diseases. At present, stem cell transplantation has become a standard treatment for almost 80 diseases. For some diseases, stem cell transplantation is first-line therapy and for others, stem cells are employed only when first-line therapies have failed or the disease is very aggressive.
Below is the list of diseases for which stem cells are being used as a standard treatment option:
