متن کاملCurrent clinical challenges and opportunities in oncologists' familiarity and understanding of immuno-oncology
Advances in understanding of the immune system are changing the way oncologists treat cancer. In recent years, researchers have increasingly looked to harnessing the patient’s immune system in the management of difficult to treat cancers. While such an approach was once felt to be unattainable, a better understanding of how the adaptive immune system works has allowed the field of immuno-oncolo...
