Understanding how immunotherapy side effects affect daily life
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Skin clinical trials.
This study is for people whose immunotherapy (a type of cancer treatment) caused joint pain, swelling, or muscle stiffness. Researchers want to talk to you about how these side effects have affected your life, so they can better understand and help others in the future.
