New at the ISN Academy – ISN-ASON Case Series on Onconephrology: Watch the First Case on Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors
The ISN and the American Association of Onconephrology (ASON) are collaborating on a series of case presentations to promote research, clinical activities, and education in onconephrology.
Watch the first case, “Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-related Kidney Adverse Events,” here.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICPI) have transformed the landscape of cancer therapy. They are currently the cornerstone of treatment for several cancers, even in advanced stages.
