• The importance of monitoring for side effects such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS).
• Strategies for community oncologists to effectively manage patients receiving this new treatment.
Dr. Shields also highlights the significance of patient advocacy and the role of organizations like Longevity Small Cell Smashers in supporting those affected by small cell lung cancer.
