Immunotherapy
is a hot topic in the world of brain tumor treatment. So I thought you all
should know about this timely (and free) American Brain Tumor Association
webinar on immunotherapy from Dr. Parney, associate professor of Neurosurgery,
at Mayo Clinic.
If
you, like me, had no idea what immunotherapy is or does, the webinar promo
blurb explains that immunotherapy is all
about stimulating the immune system to fight cancer and recent research points
to this as a promising strategy for malignant brain tumors – see http://johnstumor.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-2014-american-society-of-clinical.html
According
to the promotional email, this webinar will review approaches to cancer
immunotherapy including immune-modifying agents and cancer vaccines. Lastly, and I like this part, Dr. Parney will
discuss current opportunities to participate in brain tumor immunotherapy
clinical trials.

Hey John. Were you able to attend the webinar? I had a question since I wasn't able to attend. Did the DCVax trial come up?
I wasn't able to attend, so I don't know if the DCVax trial came up.
