This course will introduce the science behind many forms of immunotherapy, including immune checkpoint inhibitors, treatment vaccines, and CAR T cells.
The fundamental idea of precision medicine is to offer each cancer patient a treatment approach that is tailored to the unique biology and genetics of their disease. This two session course provides an understanding of the concepts that underlie precision cancer medicine and both its promise and limitations.
This 3-hour virtual course emphasises the progress made in developing novel immunotherapies for solid tumours, such as CAR T cell therapy, TCR-engineered T cell therapy, tumour infiltrating lymphocytes, T cell engagers, and vaccine-based treatments.
This course gives cancer nurses and trial staff the knowledge and confidence to discuss a wide range of targeted cancer treatments and immunotherapies with patients and colleagues.
