In banking with LifebankUSA, families have the opportunity to bank stem cells from both the placenta and the cord blood, thus storing more cells for future use than with traditional umbilical cord blood banking.
Many expecting parents are already aware of the benefits of banking stem cells for potential future use, and many families have already benefited from stem cell treatments made possible through cord blood storage. Through Placenta-Cord banking, parents can bank significantly more of their children’s stem cells than umbilical cord blood banking alone. Research has shown that treating debilitating and life-threatening diseases with more stem cells significantly improves treatment success.

About LifebankUSA:
Stem cells from the placenta and the umbilical cord blood may be used do rebuild blood. Treatment outcome is based on many factors and results may vary. The chance that a child will use his/her own stored stem cells during his/her lifetime is estimated at 1 in 400 (J.J. Nietfeld and F. Verter). These odds may increase if there is a family history of certain blood disorders or cancers. The potential risks and benefits of stem cell transplantation vary and depend on many factors, such as the amount and quality of the stem cells collected, the HLA compatibility between recipient and donor, and the client’s overall health.
