ASLMS/STM Cell Stress Pathways and Energy-Based Devices

This CME webinar will introduce physicians and scientists to the fundamental process in thermal medicine, including the use of non-light based energy devices for influencing tissue temperature. The roles of heat shock proteins, heat transfer in biological systems, and how temperature induces different cell death pathways will be discussed. Next, we will discuss how temperature manipulation impacts physiological and immunological regulation. The potential to use temperature to induce local and systemic effects that stimulate the immune system, leading to reductions in primary tumors and metastases (the abscopal effect) will be discussed. The goal of this webinar is to provide participants with a background into the biological processes that occur following non-ablative and ablative thermal techniques, and explore the increasing ramifications that focal temperature modulation has on controlling immune responses and complementary therapeutics.
