The afternoon will include the discussion of medical therapies, including standard and targeted chemotherapy, as well as immunotherapy. The final plenary session will discuss both medical and surgical therapies for malignant effusions. Our day will conclude with a virtual tumor board consisting of a robust staff of Virginia Mason Franciscan Health clinicians.
