  • What should I ask before agreeing to cell therapy in Korea?

    At minimum five: which laboratory cultures the cells and under what licence; whether this is approved treatment or enrolment in a clinical trial; whether cell count and viability per dose are stated numerically; whether sterility and endotoxin results for that lot are attached; and which Korean-licensed doctor performs the injection and handles follow-up.
