    Abstract:
    The World Marrow Donor Association Annual Reports describe the current status of the use of unrelated hematopoietic cell products worldwide. In 2008, almost 1.7 million individuals were recruited into unrelated stem cell donor registries and almost 78 000 cord blood units were added to the inventory increasing the total number of available stem cell donors worldwide to over 14 million. In 2008, there were 10 481 adult stem cell donations (3221 BM and 7260 PBSC donations) provided from stem cell donor registries in 38 countries. In 2008, 3529 cord blood products were provided from 21 countries. Although the number of BM donations has been stable over the past 10 years, donations of PBSCs and umbilical cord blood are increasing.
