How can we improve outcomes for cancer patients undergoing surgery? With Immunotherapy! In this episode we discuss perioperative immunotherapy with Dr. Rebecca Auer, a Surgeon-Scientist and the CEO & Scientific Director at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute. She discusses how her background in surgery and interest in research led her to explore how we can enhance the immune system after surgical removal of cancers to prevent relapse.
