For stem cells
Red Cross Tyrol launches appeal for registration
In the case of blood cancer, i.e. leukemia, stem cell therapy can be life-saving and even ensure that the patient recovers. Although around 30 million people worldwide have registered their stem cells, the chances of finding a suitable donor are only 1 in 1.5 million.

Good chances of recovery
Manfred Gaber, Head of the Tyrolean Blood Donor Service, explains: "Blood stem cells are responsible for the formation of white and red blood cells. In leukemia patients, these stem cells mutate. This means that they need new ones, which come from a donation. If these match, the chances of recovery are very good."
The requirements
People who are between 18 and 35 years old and weigh at least 50 kilograms can register.
