This past weekend at the European Society for Medical Oncology congress in Barcelona, Spain, there were many poster presentations by CCTG researchers.
Poster Discussion: CCTG IND 232 - Phase II Study of Durvalumab with or without Tremelimumab in Patients with mCRPC
An emerging form of immunotherapy, called adoptive cell transfer, has the potential to transform the way in which cancers are treated. Adoptive cell therapy involves taking a patient’s immune cells from their blood, and modifying them in a lab so they can target cancer cells more effectively — enhancing the patient’s immune system to fight cancer.
The use of Complementary Medicines is Relatively High Among Patients in Phase III Cancer Trials
