Twelve immunotherapy agents have been approved since 2011 in a wide variety of cancers. Immune checkpoint blockade leads to a new spectrum of dysimmune toxicity requiring collaboration between oncologist providers and specialists to improve the understanding of the mechanism, diagnosis, and management of irAEs. The goal of the program is to bring together a multidisciplinary group of clinicians to share expertise and improve the care of patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitor therapies.

TARGETED AUDIENCE

Specialists in dermatology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, oncology, internal medicine, rheumatology/ immunology, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and residents/ fellows are invited to attend.
