Learn about the innovative cancer therapy that helped Jimmy Carter go into remission!
As you know, cancer immunotherapy is one of the fastest growing areas of oncology. In collaboration with the University of Chicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center and presented by local, leading authorities in tumor immunology and cancer immunotherapy, this CME - and CE-certified program will facilitate understanding cancer immunotherapies, their therapeutic effectiveness, and the appropriate selection and management of patients.
Attendees may also take advantage of the opportunity for professional networking that will promote collaboration and scientific exchange with experts, clinical oncologists and other health care providers from the surrounding community.
The target audience for this program is patient care providers and others who wish to learn the basic principles of tumor immunology and immunotherapy, and to improve their ability to integrate immunotherapy into state-of-the art clinical management for their patients. This intended audience includes clinical oncologists, registered nurses, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, allied health professionals, other patient care providers, students and patient advocates.
