Cancer Immunology and Immunotherapy: Taking a Place in Mainstream Oncology

摘要 请求为题为癌症免疫学和免疫疗法的Keystone研讨会提供支持： 在主流肿瘤学中占有一席之地，由Robert D.Schreiber博士、James P.Allison博士、Philip D. 格林伯格和格伦·德拉诺夫。会议将于3月在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省惠斯勒举行 2017年19-23日。癌症免疫学和免疫治疗领域继续在提供 全面了解肿瘤与免疫系统相互作用的基本机制 并将这一知识应用于开发有效的基于免疫的癌症治疗方法。因此，这是 会议的组织是为了突出对免疫成分的复杂作用的最新见解和 控制或促进癌症的途径，并展示癌症疫苗的最新用途， 检查点阻断策略、采用细胞疗法和细胞工程方法，无论是作为单核细胞还是 联合疗法，已导致持久，有效和安全的治疗反应 癌症患者的数量不断增加。部分会议还将聚焦于新的、正在开发的技术 这可能会扩大我们精确监测癌症免疫治疗效果的能力， 精细化和达到过去不可能达到的水平。既有老牌的也有后起之秀的 调查人员将有足够的机会与初级调查人员进行非正式互动并分享意见 实习生们在轻松愉快的气氛中接受培训。

ABSTRACT Support is requested for a Keystone Symposia conference entitled Cancer Immunology and Immunotherapy: Taking a Place in Mainstream Oncology, organized by Drs. Robert D. Schreiber, James P. Allison, Philip D. Greenberg and Glenn Dranoff. The conference will be held in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada from March 19-23, 2017. The fields of cancer immunology and immunotherapy continue to make great strides in providing both a comprehensive understanding of the basic mechanisms underlying tumor-immune system interactions and applying this knowledge to the development of effective immune-based cancer therapies. As such, this conference is organized to highlight recent insights into the complex roles of immune components and pathways in controlling or alternatively promoting cancer and to showcase recent uses of cancer vaccines, checkpoint blocking strategies, adoptive cell therapies and cellular engineering approaches, either as mono- or combinatorial therapies, that have resulted in durable, effective and safe therapeutic responses to an increasing number of cancer patients. Part of the conference will also focus on new, developing technologies that are likely to expand our capacity to monitor the effects of cancer immunotherapy with a precision, refinement and at a level that has not been possible in the past. Both established and up-and-coming investigators will have ample opportunities to interact informally and share views with junior investigators and trainees in a collegial and relaxed atmosphere.
