Description
Immunotherapy in cancer has uncovered extraordinary advances in disease response and survival, far beyond that seen with traditional chemotherapy. With an estimated 16 million cancer survivors today and 30 million projected by 2040, we are enabling an unprecedented number of cancer survivors. What is not yet known is how immunotherapy fully impacts survivorship, given the very different side effect profile seen.
The nature, timing, and duration of immune-related side effects has created an entirely new science of patient management. Extending far beyond oncology, patient care needs often require other specialty input, from Primary Care, Endocrinology, Cardiology, Gastroenterology, and Rheumatology. However, indirect measures of outcome (health resource utilization, patient-reported outcomes, financial toxicity) are presently understudied in this rapidly growing patient cohort.
Learning Objectives:
1. Understand the unique side effect profile and care needs of cancer patients treated with immunotherapy.
2. Identify knowledge and practice gaps in cancer care as it relates to immunotherapy.
3. Apply knowledge to create institutional best practices and develop patient-centered quality initiatives.
