Understanding Cell Therapy: What Patients Need to Know

Cell therapy is an innovative treatment approach that uses a patient’s own immune cells to help recognize and fight melanoma. While these therapies are creating new options for some patients with advanced disease, many people have questions about how they work, who may be eligible, and where they are available. Join melanoma experts, Melissa Wilson, PA-C, MPAS, melanoma lead at UPMC Hillman Cancer Center/AIM’s “Ask a Medical Expert” and Hussein A. Tawbi, MD., Ph.D., professor and deputy chair of the department of melanoma medical oncology at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston for a patient-focused discussion on cell therapy, including an overview of current treatment options, how patients are evaluated for eligibility, and the role of the multidisciplinary care team throughout the treatment journey. They will also discuss how patients can learn whether cell therapy may be an option for them, where these treatments are offered, and what emerging research may mean for the future of melanoma care. Whether you are a patient, care partner, or advocate, this webinar will provide practical information, expert insights, and an opportunity to have your questions answered. REGISTER
