ESMO 2023 | Predicting clinical outcomes after immunotherapy

Marco Donia, MD, PhD, Copenhagen University Hospital, Herlev, Denmark, highlights the importance of predicting clinical outcomes after immunotherapy for two main reasons. Firstly, to administer the treatment only to patients who have a reasonable chance of responding positively. Secondly, to spare patients with a low or zero likelihood of responding from potential side effects. The goal is to identify patients who are likely to respond well with minimal side effects and, conversely, those who may not respond well and are at a higher risk of adverse effects. This personalized approach aims to optimize the efficacy of immunotherapy while minimizing the potential negative impact on patients. The interview took place at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2023 Congress in Madrid, Spain.
