Karen Lee, NP, from Mount Sinai Health Systems, explains the importance of maintaining a patient's expectations with immunotherapy.

Because of that, Lee stresses keeping patients hopeful, but realistic. She suggests that providers remind patients that whether an immunotherapy works or not, the care team will remain with them throughout.
