In this episode of ASTCT Talks, Dr. Taha Al-Juhaishi is joined by Dr. Filippo Milano, director of the Cord Blood Transplant Program at Fred Hutch, for a wide-ranging conversation on the evolving role of umbilical cord blood transplantation.

From its historical milestones to emerging clinical strategies, Dr. Milano shares insights drawn from decades of research, practice and mentorship. The discussion explores the unique biological advantages of cord blood, including its potent graft-versus-leukemia effect and low incidence of chronic GVHD. Dr. Milano outlines ideal patient profiles, unit selection criteria and conditioning regimens, while addressing challenges like engraftment delays and infection risk.
