About

What are the benefits and risks of immunotherapy? What are the known side effects of immunotherapy? How soon after treatment will I experience the side effects? What is it like to participate in a clinical trial?

In this webinar for patients and caregivers, Brendan Connors, a cancer veteran, and his oncologist, Dr. Michael Postow of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, discuss the importance of communication between patient and doctor throughout immunotherapy treatment. They address questions that are important to ask your doctor before, during, and after treatment as well as answer viewer questions.

The "Cancer Immunotherapy and You" webinar series is produced by the Cancer Research Institute. This episode is hosted by our associate director of patient engagement, Caroline Offit. The 2019 series is made possible with generous support from Bristol-Myers Squibb and Cellectis.
