2015 Annual Meeting & Associated Programs: 2015 Primer on Tumor Immunology and Cancer ImmunotherapyTM November 7, 2015 Gaylord National Hotel & Convention Center National Harbor, MD Program OrganizersMargaret K. Callahan, MD, PhD – Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Willem W. Overwijk, PhD – University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer CenterProgram SummaryFrom the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (STIC), these enduring materials from the 2015 SITC Primer on Tumor Immunology and Cancer Immunotherapy™ provide a foundation for understanding core immunology principles as they relate to basic and clinical research in immunotherapy of cancer. The presentations give an overview of several general immunology and cancer immunotherapy topics including basic immunology, passive immunotherapy, active immunotherapy and immune monitoring. Target AudienceThe intended audience for this annual, one-day educational program immediately preceding the SITC annual meeting included students, postdoctoral fellows and technicians from academia and industry, as well as physicians and scientists at senior levels who wished to revisit and solidify their understanding of tumor immunology and immunotherapy prior to the conference. #ClinicalTrials #TherapeuticAntibodies #Biomarkers #AlliedHealth #Clinician #PresentationSlides #SITC #Vaccines #Industry #Oncologist #PrimaryCarePhysician #AnnualMeeting #ImmuneCheckpointInhibitors #Researcher #2015 #ColorectalCancer #Leukemia #LungCancers #Lymphoma #Melanoma #ProstateCancer #AdoptiveCellTherapy #Video
