We recently held the inaugural webinars in our 2022 Expert Hour webinar series: Clinical Trials 101 and Immunotherapy 101.
Dr. Lee Rosen of the University of California, Los Angeles, and Dr. Julius Strauss of the National Institutes of Health were the first two experts to hold informative and insightful sessions. We were thrilled at the quality and depth of information about anal cancer they each brought directly to the community.
We are so grateful for the time Drs. Rosen and Strauss put into their presentations and for taking the time to respond to audience questions and concerns with such kindness and clarity. This is our entire goal for this series: getting you the same information as your providers have. When you are empowered with knowledge, you can have more in-depth and productive conversations with your medical team and get the best care to suit your needs.
