Bone Marrow Transplant. 1998 Jul;22 Suppl 1:S78-9.
Patients with beta-thalassemia (Hbeta th) and sickle cell anemia (SCA) can be treated with bone marrow transplantation. Stem cells from cord blood have several theoretical advantages, however, the place of cord blood transplant for hemoglobinopathies has not yet been established. We report here the EUROCORD experience of 10 patients (Hbeta th = 7, SCA = 3) transplanted with related cord blood.
