Standards, adult stem cells, and tracking
ICMS is a standards organization that produced guidelines for the practice of cell-based medicine and uses those guidelines as a foundation for accreditation and evaluation of cell treatment providers.
Its adult stem cell focus centers on autologous adult stem cells, patient access, licensed physician care, and fully informed risk disclosure.
- A research topic listing is not a claim that a treatment is safe, effective, or approved.
- ICMS clinical translation guidance focuses on autologous adult stem cells; consult the dated guidance for its scope.
- Long-term follow-up helps document outcomes and complications.
- ICMS developed its registry as a patient-advocacy mechanism for outcomes, complications, adverse events, and clinic accountability.
