In the past ten years, immunoncology has revolutionized cancer treatment and set new standards in therapy and diagnostics. Thanks to innovative approaches such as immunoncology, survival rates were significantly improved and the quality of life of those affected could be increased sustainably. Despite this success, the challenge of establishing cancer as a chronic or even curable disease remains a central goal.
As part of the press conference, the progress of the past ten years as well as milestones and future developments are presented that mark a paradigm shift in cancer medicine. Immunoncology has played a central role and changed the treatment options. Expert: Inside and patient Advocates take a look at the achievements and the future of cancer treatment.
