How Physical Therapists Can Support Patients on Immunotherapy

What happens when the immune system turns into a weapon against cancer — and PTs aren’t sure what to expect?

Join Jimmy McKay as he interviews three leaders in oncology rehab at CSM 2026. Scott Capozza, Amanda Giarratano, and Stephen Wechsler break down what immunotherapy means for PTs — and how to prepare for the tidal wave of patients already coming.

You’ll learn:

• The real differences between immunotherapy and chemo
• Why side effects often look like inflammation — and how to treat it
• What the data says about exercise improving survival
• Referral patterns, clinical barriers, and how students are pushing change

This is essential listening for any physical therapist working in oncology or interested in the future of personalized cancer care.
