Webinar Date and Time: December 15th 2023
Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is a side effect of treatment with novel immunotherapies including bispecific antibodies and CAR T-cell therapy. CRS is caused by a large rapid release of inflammatory molecules called cytokines into the blood stream. Symptoms can range from mild and flu-like symptoms, to more severe and life-threatening. In this webinar, an overview will be provided of what CRS is, when it can occur during lymphoma treatment and how it is managed in a clinical setting.
