eCast - Stem Cell Tourism (23EL-890)

Unproven cellular therapies are being offered to patients for a variety of conditions and diseases for which other treatments have failed. The practitioners are not fully aware of the risks involved with such therapies. A need therefore exists to bring attention to the potential limitations and adverse effects of these therapies to inform and limit misinformation. In this program, the faculty will discuss some of these cautionary tales and key adverse events associated with unproven cellular therapies as they relate to various disease conditions. A workflow to facilitate an understanding of the regulatory processes involved in the approval of cellular therapies will also be provided to educate the practitioners. This will provide practitioners a foundation and tools to further navigate the field of unproven cellular therapy products.
