Extracellular Vesicles (Exosomes) and Cancer - Single Course
.75 CME CREDITS – $65.00
The American Cancer Society predicts that the global burden of cancer will be 26.1 million new cancer cases per year and 13 million annual deaths by 2030, up from and 13.2 million cases and 8.2 million deaths in 2013. Unfortunately there is no early detection test for cancer. In the past decade there has been an explosion on the research of exosomes and cancer. Exosomes have a role in cancer in regards to promotion of tumor growth, tumorigenesis, tumor angiogenesis, tumor immune escape, drug resistance, and metastasis. In addition exosomes have a role for a cancer biomarker and may become the standard for early detection or surveillance marker for cancer. Finally exosomes have a role in the future as a cancer therapeutic agent.
*COMPLIANCE DISCLOSURE: AMMG has made every effort to have all lectures and statements made regarding Extracellular Vesicles comply with all FDA and State and Local laws. This is a science and knowledge based course, and Extracellular Vesicles is a new and potentially changing area of medicine. Currently Extracellular Vesicles can only be used in conjunction with an IRB with a FWA plus and IND/BLA, meaning FDA approval for a phase 1 clinical trial must be granted. We encourage you to frequently check for new policies, laws and rules which may apply to your practice and to strictly adhere to all laws which apply.
