Webinars/Lecture Series

Recent advances in immuno-oncology (IO) therapies have been rewarded by rapid, durable responses for subsets of patients in many cancers that have been resistant to conventional treatments. Just as with developments with chemotherapy and targeted therapies, increasing numbers of IO patients with metastatic disease are transitioning into post-treatment survivorship. However, these patients may experience late physical and psychosocial effects of cancer and its treatment (e.g., depression, pain, fatigue), which can negatively impact quality of life. 

In the videos below expert panels discuss the unique survivorship needs of IO patients, including improving care coordination and communication within the multidisciplinary team and how to meet patients’ psychosocial and physical well-being needs. The discussion identify actionable steps for cancer care providers and allied healthcare professionals to address the survivorship needs of this patient population.
