Guide to Cancer Immunotherapy

Advancements in the field of immunotherapy have revolutionized cancer treatment—from delivery models to treatment responses and toxicity management; ONS’s Guide to Cancer Immunotherapy expands on that knowledge to offer insights on cutting-edge treatments.

Oncology nurses have been pivotal in this transformation by playing a crucial role in patient education and preventing and managing immune-related toxicities. The second edition of this guidebook dives into the principles of immunotherapy, and relevant biomarkers, as well as up-to-date information on immunotherapies, including checkpoint inhibitors, immunomodulators, vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, cytokine therapies, and more. The latest edition also dives into an expanded case-based management strategy with nursing case studies and considerations for care and patient education. As immunotherapy continues to evolve and shape cancer treatment across all stages, this comprehensive reference serves as a guide for understanding and managing these therapies and their associated toxicities across the cancer continuum.
