This highly readable handbook examines the possible effects of immunotherapies on the skin, gastrointestinal tract, liver, endocrine system and lungs, as well as less frequent reactions. Detailed descriptions and evidence-based guidance for practical application make 'Fast Facts: Managing Immunotherapy-Related Adverse Events' an invaluable resource for all healthcare professionals who may encounter patients using immunotherapy, including nurses, who are particularly well placed to identify changes linked to use of immunotherapy, those working in the emergency department and primary care providers.
