Below is the risk of an individual being diagnosed of common blood cancers
at some point in a lifetime*:
India has a high burden of inherited red cell diseases such as Thalassemia
& Sickle Cell Disease (2.5 Lakh patients) where stem cell transplant is the only
curative treatment option
*As per National Cancer Institute, Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program
Learn MoreFor stem cell matching there are between 6-10 parameters that need to be matched, with each parameter having between 2000-4000 variants.
Adult bone marrow requires 9-10 parameters to be matched.
However Umbilical Cord Blood requires only 6-8 parameters to be matched thereby making it
10-100x more easier to find a match.
Umbilical Cord blood stem cells being frozen are 100% available and ready
for immediate release. Further withdrawal of matching units from the community inventory
is totally free.
Even in advanced countries like the US about 50% of registered adult donors
back out at the time of medical need. In some cases, since the donor is required to
travel, there could be delays in access. Further there are significant costs in making
arrangements for sourcing these cells.
Community cord blood banking has the benefits of both private banking and public banking and hence is a superior option.
No wonder it’s supported by leading medical experts unlike private banking which has been
criticised- as inherited disorders make it unfit for baby’s own use & can only be withdrawn once for
family use.
Public cord blood banks in India have limited inventory and are not growing due to lack of
financial aid. Further they charge upto ₹10 lakhs for releasing a matching unit.
Success rates for cord blood transplants are improving with each passing year due to innovations such as:
Representation of adult donors of Indian origin is less than 1% in global registries, and size of Indian donor registries is significantly sub-optimal (<1 Million Donors) to provide reasonable access to a matching donor
Inventory of cord blood units within public banks in India is still very small (<10,000 units collectively)
