Did you know? In 1994, Susan Shurin, MD, performed the first umbilical cord transplant to treat childhood leukemia, using cord blood stem cells from the patient's newborn sister.

UH Seidman Cancer Center is the only cancer center in Ohio to perform haplo-cord transplants as a treatment for leukemia. This type of transplant combines two sources of stem cells (adult and donated umbilical cord blood) for a more effective treatment with fewer side effects.
