 Itzel Cervantes was 6 years old when she underwent the cord blood transplant.  She had a diagnosis of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). The leukemia kept relapsing after chemotherapy, so that the only way to stop it was a stem cell transplant. But Itzel’s sibling was not a close enough HLA match for her, and a search through the national Be The Match registry failed to identify any donors for a bone marrow transplant.
