Resetting the Immune System to Eradicate Melanoma
Dr. William Sharfman will discuss how advances in the understanding of the immune system have led to immune therapies that put about 50% of patients with advanced melanoma in long remissions. He will discuss possible reasons why immune therapies don’t work in all patients and the unique side effects that immune therapy patients may experience.
