Immunotherapy made from your tumor-fighting immune cells

What taking part in a colorectal cancer study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
