"Not So Different" Episode 7: Oncology Biosimilars
Last time on the podcast, we spoke with a practicing rheumatologist about his experience with biosimilars so far, but one of the most exciting prospects on the biosimilars horizon is the market entry of 2 approved anticancer biosimilars: trastuzumab and bevacizumab. This week, we’re delving into the world of supportive care and anticancer biosimilars with an oncology expert, Robert M. Rifkin, MD, FACP.
