INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DIFFERENTIATION THERAPY

在过去，辨证治疗一直被讨论为一种小的 关于细胞分化的大型会议的一部分。在过去的五年中 多年来，我们已经建立了一个论坛，在那里可以讨论这个话题 进行了深入的研究，并详细介绍了基础和临床数据。在……里面 最近对差异化概念使用感兴趣的观点 疗法及其在世界各地临床试验中的应用，我们 认为有必要举行一次持续的研讨会会议 它将科学家和临床医生聚集在一起，用经过验证的科学 对这一领域的兴趣。我们已经建立了一条通讯 由10个工作组组成的网络，由超过125名参与者组成，全部 其中对诱导分化表现出兴趣的 作为一种可能的疗法。 我们最初的概念是每个参与者都要致力于 参加会议的期限为三年。为此， 建立了工作分组，以符合以下科学专长 参与者和每个人都继续在这一框架内工作。 1988年在撒丁岛举行的第三次会议之后，决定 这些会议应该是一种持续的合作，并随后成为 第四次会议于1990年在日本举行。在第四次会议上， 分组联席主席组织并介绍了他们的进展情况 各工作分组和所有与会者报告了他们最近 实地研究。正如第三次会议之后预期的那样， 所有与会者继续定期交流，并 在此基础上发展了几个重要的合作。 第四次会议的摘要已经出版， 工作组的报告已经分发。第二 《肿瘤辨证论治现状》卷一 这次会议的直接结果，由瑞文出版社于#年出版 1991年7月。这是基于所有人的热情而决定的 与会者认为，会议应继续定期举行，并 这些参与者致力于继续合作 再等四年。我们相信，这一结构将 促进辨证论治的发展成为一种可行的 临床工具。

In the past, differentiation therapy has been discussed as a small portion of large meetings on cell differentiation. In the last five years 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 125 participants, all of whom have demonstrated an interest in the induction of differentiation as a possible therapy. Our original concept was that each participant be committed to participate in the meeting for a period of three years. To that end, working sub-groups were 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. At the Fourth Conference, sub-group co-chairmen organized and 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 Third Conference, all of the participants continued to communicate on a regular basis, and several important collaborations have developed from this. The abstracts from the Fourth Conference have been published and the reports from the working sub-groups have been distributed. The second volume of "The Status of the Differentiation Therapy of Cancer" is a direct result of this conference and was published by Raven Press in July, 1991. It was determined, based upon the enthusiasm of all participants, that the conference should continue on a regular basis and these participants have committed themselves to continued collaboration for another four years. It is our belief that this structure will facilitate the development of differentiation therapy as a viable clinical tool.
