Dr. Mary Eapen is from the Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Mismatched umbilical cord blood is as effective as mismatched bone marrow or peripheral blood as a stem cell source for allogeneic transplantation in adults with acute leukemia who do not have a matched donor, according to an international study of over 1200 such cases reported at ASH 2008.
