S13 Ep39: Efficacy of Immune Checkpoint Inhibition in Oncology May Translate to Neurologic Disorders: With Shailee S. Shah, MD

In today’s OncClub episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Shailee S. Shah, MD, about a retrospective study she and colleagues conducted to understand the effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors on patients with cancer and pre-existing neurologic autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, and Parkinson's disease. Dr Shah is a clinical assistant professor of neurology (MS/neuroimmunology) at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, Illinois. 

In our exclusive interview, Dr Shah discussed the design of this study, key findings, and how these results emphasize the need for multidisciplinary care and risk stratification for more effective and comprehensive patient care.
