Immunotherapy in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Answering Clinically Relevant Questions

Sunday, June 5, 2016
Sheraton Grand Chicago
Chicago, Illinois

Presented by prIME Oncology in collaboration with the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer

This satellite symposium, which was held during the 2016 ASCO Annual Meeting, presented recent findings from clinical trials investigating immunotherapeutic agents in newly diagnosed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Attendees learned how to apply these findings to appropriately selected patients, monitor efficacy of immunotherapies, recognize adverse events and apply methods to mitigate toxicity. The symposium also discussed the rationale for, and research findings on, novel combinations that include immunotherapies and other agents.
