OncLive Saturday Spotlight: A Morning With NYU Langone-Perlmutter Cancer Center

Our OncLive® Saturday Spotlight webinar will feature a panel of top physicians from one of our nation’s leading institutions as it discusses important topics facing oncologists today.

Topics of discussion will be:

  • Protecting our cancer center — screening at the door
  • Caring for patients with cancer when the operating room is closed
  • Immunotherapy concerns in a COVID-19 world
  • Radiation therapy for patients infected with COVID-19 — ethical and practical considerations
  • Hematologic malignancy in the COVID-19 pandemic
  • What everyone wants in a COVID-19 world — convalescent plasma: trials and tribulations
