The side effects of immunotherapies for cancer can affect any body system—both during active treatment and long after treatment has ended—and ongoing education is needed for oncologists, patients, primary care providers, and other clinicians caring for patients post-treatment. On this episode of CANCER BUZZ, learn about the transition from immunotherapy into post-treatment survivorship, how it differs from chemotherapy, and why coordination and communication among providers, patients, and caregivers is essential.
