Guide to Cancer Immunotherapy

"Immunotherapy has evolved as a cornerstone of treatment for many cancers, and there continue to be major advances in this therapeutic arena. The second edition of the Guide to Cancer Immunotherapy provides a detailed update on new immunotherapy agents and indications, as well as the latest information on the management of immunotherapy-related toxicities. This edition also expands on the historical development of immunotherapy from its rudimentary beginnings in the 19th century to the modern era of sophisticated immunotargets.

Special considerations related to the unique needs of patients receiving immunotherapy treatments are covered in this edition, and case-based discussions highlight recommendations for nursing practice.
