Hey there! If you’re reading this, chances are you—or someone you love—has just started Xpovio (selinexor) and you’re curious (or maybe a little nervous) about the side‑effects that come with the treatment.

Ever wonder how doctors might catch cancer without popping a single cell? Large oncosomes—the sneaky, fluid-filled sacs cancer cells toss into your bloodstream—might just be the answer.
