Abstract
- The Umbilical Cord Blood Units (UCBU) for transplant are a therapeutic possibility for patients with a wide range of onco-hematologic disorders, especially in children. In Mexico, 48.5% of oncological diseases in children from 1 to 4 years old are leukemias; while in patients from 5 to 14 and 15 to 24 years of age lymphomas and leukemias are predominant and represent the second and third causes of death in these age groups, respectively. Therefore, is it necessary to have registries of UCBU to ensure the representation of the genetic diversity in Mexico in order to attend this requirement.
