Webside Manner - Telemedicine in the Age of Covid 19 - A Three Part Series

Video
In April of 2020, GRACE Board Members Dr. H. Jack West, Dr. Jared Weiss and Dr. Ben Levy had a candid discussion regarding telemedicine in the time of the current pandemic.

In this time of social distancing and limiting clinic exposure, the sudden need for telemedicine and web consults is perhaps changing the future of medicine on a faster pace than we have previously thought possible.

In this three part series the doctors discuss a wide range of topics surrounding the use of telemedicine and potential challenges for providers and patients alike.

Keytruda and squamous cell skin cancer?

I just finished 2 years of Keytruda (successful in keeping the cancer at bay), and have noticed an increase in squamous cell skin cancers.  I have had 5 this year (two of which required plastic surgery to remove).  My onc said she thought she had heard something about a correlation between immunotherapy and skin cancers, but wasn't sure.  Has anyone heard this, or do you know of any studies?

Cheers,
