How Immunotherapy is Reshaping Cancer Patient Survivorship Experiences

Description

Breakthroughs in immunotherapy have led to longer lasting treatments, and even cures, for many different types of cancer. Many cancer patients who participated in early immunotherapy clinical trials have become patient pioneers. They have lived far beyond the limited prognoses their oncologists initially gave them and entered an unexplored, and largely untold, realm of the cancer survivorship experience.

In this webinar for patients and caregivers, three CRI ImmunoAdvocates discuss redefining and navigating their lives after immunotherapy. Guest moderator Kristin Kleinhofer (leukemia) speaks to Brendan Connors (melanoma) and Sunshine Pegues (lung cancer) about their unique cancer survivorship experiences, including the management of long-term side effects, continued self-advocacy and self-education, and their long-lasting relationships with their health care teams.

The “Cancer Immunotherapy and You” webinar series is produced by the Cancer Research Institute and is hosted by our senior science writer, Arthur N. Brodsky, Ph.D. The 2021 series is made possible with generous support from Bristol Myers Squibb and Alkermes.
