A Girl of Cadiz than Brain Cancer After Being Treated With Stem Cells From his Own Umbilical Cord

NEWSWhen the little Alba was two years old, was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma, a type of brain cancer as serious as rare. Oncohematology service of the Hospital Universitario Niño Jesús de Madrid worked the miracle: two years later, makes normal life because their parents kept their stem cells in umbilical cord Cryo-Cord. It is the first case in Spain where they are used patient’s own stem cells.

After removal of most of the tumor, Alba underwent more intensive chemotherapy to completely eliminate tumor cells. But at this late stage, chemotherapy destroys the patient’s blood. We had to rebuild the system with stem cells.

So we proceeded to transplant stem cells from his umbilical cord, which migrate to the bone marrow, where they multiplied and began to produce white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets, thus initiating the regeneration of the blood system. Then, after 60 days of transplantation, we were infused new stem cells, this time from their peripheral blood platelet to accelerate the implant. Fourteen months after transplantation, the girl has completely rebuilt their blood system and enjoys a normal life, with the logical periodic review.
