Cancer immunotherapy. Personalized treatment. Genomic medicine. For researchers, clinicians, and patients alike, there is a lot to be excited about right now in the seemingly never-ending war against cancer.
Join leading cancer researchers and physicians from UConn Health as they share the ways we are changing our approach to fighting this deadly disease. Learn the ways we are advancing knowledge in the field and what truly unbelievable developments are unfolding right before our eyes.
