Welcome to our Community. Our intent is to share educational content, helpful resources, articles, videos, and more that help healthcare professionals and researchers increase their understanding about the role of the immune system in fighting cancer.

The @BMS_ImmunOnc_US Twitter community is brought to you by Bristol-Myers Squibb as part of our long-term commitment to advancing this fundamentally different approach to cancer research. Our community will be monitored on a daily basis, and our community managers will attempt to address all questions and comments left on the page promptly, but there may be delayed responses to comments left after business hours, on weekends, or on major holidays. Please note that some responses may occur via Direct Message rather than publicly.

We’re here to help and support the community. It is important to respect the rights of individuals using social media to voice their views and opinions. We encourage thoughtful participation, genuine questions, and informed sharing by means of respectful and appropriate posts and comments, but because we’re part of a regulated industry, we may need to delete any comments that violate the Twitter Guidelines.

Here’s a few simple guidelines that we request you follow when you engage with us.

  1. The content on this page is intended only for U.S. healthcare professionals and researchers.
  2. Due to pharma regulations, we cannot discuss any specific medications, whether it’s ours or anyone else's.
  3. Our Twitter page is not intended for reporting side effects of medications. You may contact us to report side effects by calling us at 800-721-5072 or by contacting the FDA directly at 1-800-FDA-1088 or visiting www.fda.gov/medwatch. If your comment includes a side effect for one of our medications, we may be reaching out to you privately.
  4. Please be respectful of privacy--don’t include personal, health, or confidential information about yourself, patients, or anyone else on our page. And keep in mind revealing your relationships with someone (e.g. my sister) could identify them. Your posts are public.
  5. And we ask that you not post vulgar, defamatory, disruptive, spam, offensive, or otherwise inappropriate comments
  6. Let’s leave the medical talk for private medical visits. Please do not provide, or request, medical advice on our page. Nothing posted here should be viewed as medical advice.
  7. Sometimes we retweet or link to third-party content. This does not mean BMS is endorsing the third-party. We share this content only as a convenience of our followers.
  8. A picture is worth a thousand words--except when it belongs to someone else and is copyrighted or trademarked. Please do not post pictures that you do not have the right to post.
  9. If you post a comment or question to us, we’ll try our best to respond, but we reserve the right not to. And when we respond, it might be delayed if after hours or on holidays. Also, responding to comments should not be taken as an endorsement of a comment. We do not take responsibility for the comments that you post.
  10. Please read and understand Twitter’s Terms while you are participating in our community. We are subject to their terms and so are you.
  11. Finally, please refrain from making any comments that include or involve:
    • Mentioning of healthcare providers by name
    • Mentioning of pharmaceutical company names
    • Statements concerning ongoing legal or regulatory matters, information that may compromise the safety, security, or proceedings of any public systems or any criminal or civil investigation
    • Promotion of illegal activity
    • Promotion of self-harm
    • Health assumptions based on appearance

Any side effects mentioned will be addressed according to FDA regulations. Potential side effects of prescription drugs can and should be reported to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/default.htm or call 1-800-FDA-1088. If you have a question about Bristol-Myers Squibb products, please call 800-321-1335.

If you include any potential adverse events in your post, whether the event happened to you or a patient under your care, we may need to contact you to find out more information. We will also report this information to Bristol-Myers Squibb as well as to the FDA. This is due to our responsibility for drug safety reporting.
