Abstract

Meeting abstracts The 2014 expert consensus on high dose interleukin-2 (HD-IL-2) states that, “Treating a minimum number of patients per year is important, as quality depends upon familiarity and repetition” [1]. The minimum annual volume of HD-IL-2 associated with relatively worse outcomes is

Highlights

  • The 2014 expert consensus on high dose interleukin-2 (HD-IL-2) states that, “Treating a minimum number of patients per year is important, as quality depends upon familiarity and repetition” [1]
