Treatment of leukemia with stem cells is a solution that is expected to help patients control the disease, prolong life and improve quality of life. Stem cell transplantation to treat leukemia can help restore the ability to produce and function of blood-forming cells in the body.

So, what is stem cell treatment for leukemia? What is the success rate of this method?

Nowadays, many people with blood diseases have the opportunity to be treated with stem cell transplants. For blood cancer, research and application of stem cell treatment for blood cancer promises to open up opportunities for effective treatment and survival for patients.

So, what is stem cell treatment for leukemia? What is the success rate of this method?

Before learning how to treat leukemia with stem cells, you need to know the basics about stem cells and cancer.

What are stem cells?

Stem cells are multipotent cells that can differentiate into cells with many different functions in the body. Stem cells can be used to replenish, repair or replace cells that are old, damaged or lost due to disease. Common types of stem cells include:

• Embryonic stem cells: These stem cells have high differentiation potential, but they must be isolated from blastocysts to be collected. Because of ethical concerns, embryonic stem cells are not allowed to be used in most countries.
• Adult stem cells: Adult stem cells have the potential to treat many diseases. Of which, mesenchymal stem cells and hematopoietic stem cells are the two types of adult stem cells that are prioritized for use in treating human diseases.
• Umbilical cord stem cells: Including epithelial stem cells, endothelial stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells. Of which, mesenchymal stem cells have more potential in treating diseases.
• Umbilical cord blood stem cells: Umbilical cord blood contains many hematopoietic stem cells. Hematopoietic stem cells from umbilical cord blood have been shown to be able to support the treatment of more than 80 different diseases.
• Induced pluripotent stem cells: These are cells that are created from somatic cells, reprogrammed back into stem cells by induction with transcription factors. Although they have great potential for application, the cost of implementation is expensive, so induced pluripotent stem cells are still in the research stage.

The discovery of the mechanism of stem cells is considered the key to opening the door to the future of regenerative medicine. Stem cells can be applied in medicine, including supporting drug toxicity screening, evaluating the effectiveness of drugs, discovering new drugs, etc. Especially the application of stem cells in disease treatment. Stem cell transplantation has helped successfully treat many dangerous diseases, helping to improve the quality of life and prolong the life of patients.
