SUMMARY:Understanding Immunotherapy for Cancer
DESCRIPTION:Description: Immunotherapy is an exciting prospect in the fight against cancer – why? Join me on this webinar and begin to discover the possibilities that immunotherapy holds in treating all sorts of cancers. To begin the session\, you will be introduced to the body’s natural immune system. An understanding of this will allow you to grasp how the immune system can be harnessed to fight cancer. Throughout the webinar\, you will begin to appreciate what a great job our T & B cells do. Therapies such as checkpoint inhibitors\, cytokines and CAR (T) cell therapies will be explained in terms that you will understand. The potential is great\, but there are also consequences to switching on our immune system. \nDate and Time: Thursday 12th March 2026\, 09:30-10:30 \nCost: Enter code LIVE2020 for free access \nFormat: Online webinar \nLink to Register: Registration

SUMMARY:Targeted Therapies for Cancer: Monoclonal Antibodies and Small Molecule Inhibitors Explained
DESCRIPTION:Description: The problem with radiotherapy and chemotherapy is that they cause too many side effects\, and do not really pay attention to the difference between cancer cells and normal cells. Targeted therapies are designed to do just that. But what are these differences? Join us on this enlightening webinar and begin your journey in understanding about targeted therapies. To start the webinar\, you will learn what the major differences are between cancer and normal cells. Once you have grasped these fundamentals\, you will learn about monoclonal antibodies and small molecule inhibitors\, and begin to appreciate their differences and how they can interact with the cancer cells. Lots of terminology explained in this exciting and interactive webinar. \nDate and Time: Wednesday 11th March 2026\, 09:30-10:30 \nCost: Enter code LIVE2020 for free access \nFormat: Online webinar \nLink to Register: Registration

SUMMARY:Chemotherapy Explained
DESCRIPTION:Description: Often wondered what a ‘chemotherapy cycle’ is? Or why we give chemotherapy in combinations? And why we give these combinations such names like ABVD\, CHOP? And what do these acronyms stand for? Well you’ve come to the right place. Everything will be explained in this webinar. You will be introduced to the different categories of drugs – alkylating\, antimetabolites\, anthracyclines\, topoisomerase inhibitors\, mitotic inhibitors. You will begin to understand how a knowledge of the cell cycle underpins why chemotherapy is used and how it works against the cell. Unfortunately\, chemotherapy does cause side effects…why is this and what are they? \nDate and Time: Tuesday 10th March 2026\, 13:30-14:30 \nCost: Enter code LIVE2020 for free access \nFormat: Online webinar \nLink to Register: Registration

SUMMARY:Introduction to Radiotherapy
DESCRIPTION:Date and Time: Thursday 5th March 2026\, 09:30-10:30 \nCost: Enter code LIVE2020 for free access \nFormat: Online webinar \nDescription: This session is designed to introduce you to the concepts and aims of radiotherapy. As the webinar progresses you will begin to appreciate the differences between external beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy. Throughout the session\, you will establish an understanding of the terminology associated with radiotherapy. Fractionation will be explained in terms that you understand and you will acquire a grasp of how radiation interacts with and kills cells. Radiotherapy treatment planning and the daily treatment processes will be explained\, before introducing you to more complicated radiotherapy techniques – Conformal\, IMRT\, IGRT\, Stereotactic. And there will be plenty of time to ask questions\, thereby making sure that you go away from the webinar with a good grounding in what radiotherapy entails. Join me for this enlightening webinar and begin your journey in understanding about radiotherapy. \nLink to Register: Registration

SUMMARY:Metastasis Explained! Why & How cancer spreads
DESCRIPTION:Date and Time: Tuesday 3rd March 2026\, 09:30-10:30 \nCost: Enter code LIVE2020 for free access \nFormat: Online webinar \nDescription: Metastasis defines cancer! In this webinar\, you will learn why.
