Kerry Alvarado (breast, colorectal, and pancreatic cancers), Belur Bhagavan, M.D. (bladder and prostate cancer), Gloria Garcia (small cell lung cancer), and Adrienne Skinner (ampullary cancer) discuss how they discovered their cancers, a succession of treatments, the importance of testing (genetic testing and tumor testing), guidance from medical teams, and making informed decisions about their treatment.
Cancer Research Institute Immunotherapy Patient Summits are free half-day Saturday events that provide a forum for patients, caregivers, and advocates to meet together along with scientific and healthcare experts to learn more about how new breakthroughs in immunotherapy are changing standards of care for all cancers. In 2018, the Immunotherapy Patient Summit series visits San Francisco, New York City, San Diego, and Houston. The New York City summit was live streamed online.
