Klimawandel und Gesundheit: Was Sie in der Hausarztpraxis wissen müssen und tun können

Die Folgen des Klimwandels haben einen direkten Einfluss auf die Primärversorgung in Deutschland: Hitzeschutz insbesondere bei älteren Patienten, die Zunahme von Infektionen und die Verlängerung der Allergiesesaison spielen medizinisch eine bedeutsame Rolle. Aber auch in der Prävention und der Aufklärung der Patienten kommt den Hausärztinnen und -ärzten eine besondere Rolle zu. Direkt aus der Praxis berichtet im Live-Webinar am 13. Mai von 18 bis 19 Uhr unser Experte Dr. med. Robin Maitra.

Opinion statement

Combining immunotherapy and radiotherapy as a treatment strategy for cervical cancer has attracted increasing attention. The primary objective of this review is to provide an up-to-date summary of the knowledge regarding the combined use of radiotherapy and immunotherapy for treating cervical cancer. This review discusses the biological rationale combining immunotherapy with radiotherapy in a clinical setting and presents supporting evidence for the combination strategy based on both safety and effectiveness data. Additionally, we discuss the potential and challenges of combining radiotherapy and immunotherapy in clinical practice.
