Immune checkpoint inhibitors can significantly improve cancer survival rates. But resulting immune-related toxicities are common, requiring multidisciplinary cooperation between oncology and neurology.
This episode, PN's podcast editor Dr. Amy Ross Russell speaks with a panel of experts on the balancing act required when treating cancer patients with these new drugs. Oncologist Dr. Heather Shaw¹ is alongside neurologists Dr. Aisling Carr² and Dr. Mark Willis³, and they are amongst the authors of the editors' choice paper for the latest issue of Practical Neurology.
Read the paper: Neurological complications of immune checkpoint inhibitors: a practical guide
