Accreditation Statement/CNE Credit:
This teacher-developed, learner-paced educational activity is designated for 1.5 Contact hours and is provided by the Boston College Connell School of Nursing Continuing Education Program.

Course Description:
This is the final in a series of three Continuing Nursing Education (CNE) modules. In this module we present a case report of an individual undergoing cancer immunotherapy. This case-based approach enables the participant to integrate knowledge of immune cell function learned in Module 1 with concepts of assessment and triage discussed in Module 2 to implement an appropriate management plan for a patient on immunotherapy. It will also help in understanding varying patient presentations and how the Common Toxicity Criteria Adverse Events (CTCAE) can help guide your decision-making.

Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
