Safety Elements of Cancer Immunotherapies: Immune Related Adverse Events - a podcast by Pharma Talk Radio

In this episode of Pharma Talk Radio, we feature medical oncologist, Dr Anna Pavlick, Director of the Melanoma Program at the NYU Cancer Institute on Safety Elements of Cancer Immunotherapies. Dr Pavlick originally gave this presentation in June 2015 at the IO360 conference.  Her talk focuses on immune related adverse affects of immuno therapy. More specifically, she covers:

•    Identifying warning signs and low threshold for workup and treatment

•    Understanding “pseudoprogression” before response, delayed toxicities

•    Reporting and assessing adverse effects during clinical trial phases

•    How to predict safety concerns when moving from animal models to human trials

We are pleased to bring this session to the public to help researchers, doctors, patients and care givers with some information on immune related adverse affects of immuno therapy. Please note that Dr Pavlick does occassionally refer to slides which are not included in the recording of this session.
