Special donations in the amount of $20.00 - $25.00 will be forwarded to the SenosAuyda Organization (http://www.senosayuda.org.ve/), whose mission is to Influence to promote the fight against breast cancer by early detection, networking with similar groups dedicated to the same cause as well as to provide guidance and emotional support to patients and their families.
“This is an opportune time to educate and promote the awareness as well as the advancements of cord blood stem cells, which, in the future, will be a source to potentially treat breast cancer”, said Aixa Cortez, GeneCell’s Marketing Manager.
Umbilical cord blood preservation is a process by which blood is collected from the umbilical cord of a newborn baby and is stored cryogenically in a specially-designated bank. Cord blood can be used to treat the child from whom the blood was collected as well as some first-degree relatives who are a close genetic match, such as family members. According to the National Marrow Donor Program, cord blood contains cells that can be transfused to a patient to treat various diseases, including lymphoma and leukemia.
“The clinical applications of umbilical cord blood have been growing by leaps and bounds considering 20 years ago it was thought that cord blood can be used to treat only a handful of different diseases, in fact today, approximately 80 different diseases can be treated with umbilical cord blood, and now other sources of these cells have recently been discovered and are being tested in a multitude of clinical trials including Type I Diabetes, Parkinson's disease, ALS, MS, heart attack, stroke as well as cosmetic applications", added GeneCell's Director of Operations, Jose Cirino.
