Breast Cancer CPG Mini Module - Toxicities and Adverse Events

The SITC Cancer Immunotherapy Guidelines Webinars connect clinicians with leading experts in the field and provide education about the evidence- and consensus-based recommendations in the clinical practice guidelines. To complement the advanced live webinar series, three on-demand, mini modules will assist learners in applying lessons learned on specific topics within the use of immunotherapy in their own practices and locate additional resources to continue their education.   

This module begins with an overview of immune-related adverse events and toxicities from Jennifer Litton, MD - The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.  Kevin Kalinsky, MD, MS - Winship Cancer Institute, Emory University, and Heather McArthur, MD, MPH - UT Southwestern, then provide case presentations that underscore the importance of vigilance, early intervention, and a multi-disciplinary approach when managing toxicities and adverse events in patients receiving immunotherapy for triple negative breast cancer. 

Run time: 10 minutes 10 seconds
