BIOSIMILARS MINI MAGAZINE

While at the pharmacy or in your doctor’s office, you may have heard the terms “generic” and “brand name” but you may not have heard of “biosimilars.” While generic and brand name drugs will likely remain staples in our healthcare system, there’s a new kid on the block you may soon encounter: biosimilars. This mini-magazine is designed to help you understand the differences between biosimilars, biologics, generics and brand name drugs so that you can be as informed as possible when it comes to treatment decisions.

SIDE EFFECTS MINI MAGAZINE

Most people diagnosed with colorectal cancer receive a combination of treatments to tackle the disease. Standard treatments have gone through clinical trials to test their effectiveness and safety, as well as to monitor and track side effects (aka adverse events). Side effects can appear during treatment, after treatment or years later. Everyone experiences them differently. Side effects can cause challenges to activities of daily living and reduce the quality of life. This Mini Magazine is written to help you identify common physical side effects that CRC survivors face and provide useful tips for managing them.
