Summary
Immunotherapy might be revolutionising the way we fight GI cancers. In our latest episode, we dive into how this innovative treatment is changing patient outcomes and the role it plays in cancer management. To discuss this, we talked to Jeroen Dekervel, gastroenterologist and oncologist at the UZ Leuven in Belgium. Our host, Pradeep Mundre guides us through the conversation about how tumours develop a resistance to chemotherapy, the quality of life for oncological patients, and why the term "palliative treatment" for cancer patients could use an update.
