Cord Blood Donation and Final Model

Cord Blood Donation and Final Model

In this teaching guide, students learn about the use of cord blood as an additional source of stem cells. They learn that the case of Hina is based on Jenna, a Fred Hutch patient who ultimately received a cord blood donation. Students also develop their final conceptual model, which focuses on understanding Hina’s treatment. This teaching guide forms part of the Intro to Cancer: Leukemia & Hina's Story pathway.
