7TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE FOR DIFFERENTIATION THERAPY

在这种背景下，辨证治疗受到的关注有限 关于细胞分化的大型会议。我们已经建立了一个 深入讨论这一主题的论坛，双方都 提供了详细的基础和临床数据。鉴于最近 对辨证治疗概念使用的兴趣及其 目前在全世界的临床试验中使用，我们相信 有必要举行一次持续的研讨会会议， 将科学家和临床医生聚集在一起，提供经过验证的科学 对这一领域的兴趣。我们已经建立了一个 由10个工作组组成的通信网络，包括 超过250名参与者，他们都表现出了兴趣 诱导分化作为一种癌症治疗方法。我们的 最初的概念是每个参与者都要致力于 参加会议，为期三年。工作分组- 已经建立了符合科学专业知识的小组 参与者和每个人都在此范围内继续工作 框架。1988年撒丁岛第三次会议之后， 会议决定，这些会议应该是一场持续的 合作，随后在#年举行了第四次会议 1990年日本，1992年撒丁岛第五次会议和第六次会议 会议于1995年在以色列举行。第六届会议，分组 联合主席组织了一次会议，介绍了他们的工作进展情况 小组和所有参与者报告了他们最近的情况 实地研究。正如预期的那样，在六号之后 会议期间，所有与会者继续在 正规性基础导致了几个重要的发展 合作。第六期的摘要和论文集 会议已经发表，工作报告 已经分发了子组。这一决定是基于 所有与会者的热情，认为会议应该 继续定期进行，新的调查人员将拥有 邀请对差异化感兴趣的嘉宾出席并 参与，从而扩大网络。所有的参与者 都致力于继续合作。这是我们的 相信这一结构将促进 辨证论治作为一种可行的临床手段。

Differentiation therapy has received limited attention in the context of large meetings on cell differentiation. We have established a forum where discussion of this subject is done in depth, with both basic and clinical data presented in detail. In view of the recent interest in the conceptual use of differentiation therapy and its current use in clinical trials through-out the world, we believe that there is a need to have an on-going workshop conference which brings together scientists and clinicians with proven scientific interest in the field. We have already established a communications network of 10 working sub-groups, comprised of over 250 participants, all of whom have demonstrated an interest in the induction of differentiation as a cancer therapy. Our original concept was that each participant be committed to take part in the meeting for a period of three years. Working sub- groups have been established which fit the scientific expertise of the participant and each has continued to work within this framework. Following the Third Conference in Sardinia in 1988, it was decided that these conferences should be an on-going collaboration and subsequently a Fourth Conference was held in Japan in 1990, a Fifth Conference in Sardinia in 1992 and a Sixth Conference in Israel in 1995. At the Sixth Conference, sub-group co-chairmen organized a presented the progress of their working sub-groups and all of the participants reported on their recent studies in the field. As was anticipated following the Sixth Conference, all of the participants continued to communicate on a regular basis leading to the development of several important collaborations. The abstracts and proceedings from the Sixth Conference have been published and the reports from the working sub-groups have been distributed. It was determined, based upon the enthusiasm of all participants, that the conference should continue on a regular basis and that new investigators with a proven interest in differentiation be invited to attend and participate, thereby increasing the network. All of the participants have committed themselves to continued collaboration. It is our belief that this structure will facilitate the development of differentiation therapy as a viable clinical tool.
