ASCO-SITC Pre-Annual Meeting Seminar: Cancer Immunotherapy Today - Maximizing Patient OutcomesMay 31-June 1, 2018McCormick PlaceChicago, ILThe ASCO Pre-Annual Meeting Seminar was created by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), co-sponsored with the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC). Program SummaryThis seminar enabled clinical oncologists, nurses, pharmacists, and the entire medical team to effectively offer their patients additional treatment options through immunotherapy. Advances in cancer immunotherapy research are rapidly emerging, with an increasing rate of new approvals for the routine clinical use of immunotherapy agents in the clinic across a variety of cancers. The pace of progress in the field necessitates the continuing education of oncology clinicians to enable them to provide the most up-to-date and comprehensive immunotherapy-based treatment options to their patients. In addition, oncologists, nurses and pharmacists with basic knowledge related to utilizing immunotherapy in clinical practice continue to be challenged by issues related to patient selection and toxicity management.#Biomarkers #ClinicalTrials #BreastCancers #GastrointestinalCancers #GenitourinaryCancers #GynecologicCancers #HeadandNeckCancers #HematologicMalignancies #LungCancers #Melanoma #NonSmallCellLungCancer #PresentationSlides #Video #CollaborativePartner #SITC #AdverseEvents #Toxicities #AdoptiveCellTherapy #CombinationTherapy #Cytokines #ImmuneCheckpointInhibitors #Vaccines #TherapeuticAntibodies #Clinician #RegisteredNurse #Oncologist #Pharmacist #2018
