Please join the UNC Lineberger Cancer Network for The Biology of Cancer with Jonathan S. Serody, MD. Immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of patients with cancer. There are now several different approaches that either activate a person’s immune system to kill their tumor or infuse immune cells or proteins that directly kill tumor cells. This lecture will highlight these new approaches to treat patients with tumor emphasizing the ability to use these therapies for multiple different cancers even when those have spread outside of the tumor site. Finally, we will discuss the paucity of individuals of color in the approval trials for these therapies and current approaches to understand this reluctance and whether these therapies are as effective to treat cancer in that group of individuals.
