Inflammation and Immunology: Balancing the Risks and Rewards of Immune System Modulation in Treatment

Join us for our thought-provoking panel discussion, where we'll unpack the complexities of inflammation and immunology. We'll be delving into the risks and rewards of using checkpoint inhibitors in cancer treatment and exploring the potential complications that arise from immune system activation. Our experts will also shed light on how inflammation can contribute to cardiovascular disease and share insights on the latest research and treatment approaches. So, join us for this illuminating conversation, and let's put our immune systems under the microscope!
