Quoting Yan Leyfman’s post:
“MedNews Week Keynote Conference | Connecting Medicine Globally.
Immunotherapy has transformed the future of cancer care – but with that progress comes one of oncology’s most complex challenges: understanding and managing immune-related toxicities.
Join MedNews Week for our next global keynote conference featuring:
Dr. Elad Sharon.
Clinical and Translational Director of the Immunotherapy Toxicity Program,
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
Dr. Sharon is a nationally recognized leader in immuno-oncology, immune-related adverse events, and translational toxicity research. His work has helped advance biomarker-driven approaches to predicting, monitoring, and managing immunotherapy complications across clinical trials and cancer care.
In his keynote,
‘The Dual-Edged Sword: Navigating the Intersection of Immunotherapy and Autoimmunity,’
Dr. Sharon will explore how we can continue expanding the promise of immunotherapy while better recognizing, preventing, and treating the autoimmune and inflammatory complications that can accompany it.
This session is designed for oncologists, hematologists, fellows, residents, medical students, researchers, and anyone interested in the evolving intersection of cancer immunotherapy, autoimmunity, and patient safety.
Date: July 7, 2026
Time: 12:30 PM EST
