A Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Unrelated Umbilical Cord Blood Microtransplantation in Patients With Higher-risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes

This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of unrelated umbilical cord blood microtransplantation in the treatment of above-mentioned MDS patients by observing the factors related to the efficacy and adverse reactions.
