Andrew interviews Carol Gillespie of the Asian American Donor Program, Stacie Tamaki of Helping Tami, and James Nguyen of Team Matthew. They discuss the use of donated stem cells from bone marrow to treat leukemia, myelodysplasia, and other blood cancers. Donor/patient compatibility depends heavily on ethnicity. Unfortunately, ethnic minorities are underrepresented in the donor registry.
