A 61 year-old gentleman by the name of Arthur Lee who was diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) in February this year was reported to have undergone a cord blood stem cell transplant to rebuild his blood and immune system after chemotherapy. The doctors tried to find a living donor but were unsuccessful and instead found a matching unit of cord blood. It is the first cord blood stem cell transplant for the Methodist University Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.
