Riassunto

Umbilical cord blood is a rich source of hematopoietic progenitor cells that are important for the treatment of blood disorders including leukemia and sickle cell anemia, among others. Produced pursuant to a congressional request to look at options for a national system for the collection, distribution, and use of umbilical cord blood, this Institute of Medicine report conducts analysis of data collected by a host of marrow and cord blood donor, transplant, and banking programs. It is guided by two overarching goals: easing access to timely, complete, and accurate information on cells available from cord blood donors at the time that doctors are making transplant decisions, and ensuring the quality of cord blood units. It makes recommendations regarding quality standards, ethical and legal issues, the structure of a national program, data collection, and finances.
