Public materials on immune checkpoint inhibitors (for reference only)
Past public materials have described the combined use of low-dose Opdivo (nivolumab) and Yervoy (ipilimumab) (for reference only). Such materials must be reconfirmed against the current situation and do not mean that efficacy is maintained or that side effects are reduced. If standard treatment is still indicated, it should not be delayed or stopped on this basis. Whether any approach is suitable must be decided individually by a physician based on the medical record, the status of standard treatment and the risk of side effects.

- Organizing and translating diagnosis reports, pathology reports, imaging, blood test results, treatment history, current medications and side-effect records
- Confirming with the clinic whether cancer outpatient consultations are currently accepted, as well as consultation days, the attending physician and the booking method
- Confirming self-pay fees and the conditions for translation, cancellation and rescheduling in advance
