In this interactive panel discussion, oncology experts and a patient with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) discuss recent advances in the use of immunotherapy for SCLC management. Experts present the latest efficacy data supporting the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors and strategies for managing treatment-related adverse events. An experienced patient with SCLC provides his unique perspective on treatment administration, education, and expectations. The panel concludes by addressing the personalized selection of patients with SCLC who may benefit from immunotherapy.
