In May 2019, ACCC and SITC hosted a by-invitation Joint Immuno-Oncology Policy Summit in Washington, D.C. The interdisciplinary discussion focused on next steps in advancing immunotherapy for cancer with a focus on three areas: telehealth, CAR T implications, and care coordination and workforce issues.
