Chapter 328 - 324 The Original Sin of All Tragedies
"No, no, sister, I don’t want your bone marrow! I... I just sensed you were in distress, that’s why I came over..."
Yan Jinsi had barely heard his elder sister say the match was successful before he hurriedly interrupted her without fully understanding the meaning—
The anxious Jinsi paused, puzzled, and looked up at his sister and brother-in-law, who were leaning in close together.
Yan Jinsi blinked, asking hesitantly: "Umbilical cord blood?"
Don’t blame him for being so confused, it’s because the term Zhang Shan Ni used really bewildered him. It’s only the late 1970s after all, and medical science has not yet advanced to the research of ’umbilical cord blood’.
Even if there were studies underway, results had not yet emerged. So, not to mention military doctors, even the public and private hospitals outside had no idea what ’umbilical cord blood’ was.
"Sure, but keep this under wraps. Since this technology hasn’t been proven by scientific research yet, it’s not widely known. You just have to trust me, okay?"
Zhang Shan Ni also explained, only after speaking did she realize that because of her twin brother’s illness, she had learned quite a bit. She now understood that his leukemia was essentially ’cancer’ here and, apart from traditional bone marrow matching, there really were no other effective treatments.
Back then, she was questioning whether the Yan Family could accept her medical technology, which was years ahead of this world’s current level.
In the future, leukemia would be as common as the ’flu’, simply requiring a match with a relative. If not, there was also the option of matching with umbilical cord blood from a cord blood bank. There would be no real risk of death!
