If you do join, you will have more check-ups and tests to keep an eye on your health. Most of these are similar to the care you would typically receive, even if you weren't part of the study. Some check-ups and tests are only for the study and not part of regular care. If you receive atezolizimab, you'll have blood tests to check your thyroid health.
