Cord blood is rich in hematopoietic stem cells, which can be used to treat malignant hematologic tumors such as acute leukemia, chronic leukemia, and lymphoma. Cord blood is also frequently employed in the treatment of diseases caused by bone marrow dysfunction, including severe aplastic anemia, congenital neutropenia, and myelofibrosis. Additionally, cord blood may be used to treat immunodeficiency disorders. Therefore, preserving cord blood is essential.
