02-13-2017 12:55

The Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) hosted "Concurrent Session II: Promoting and Measuring Anti-Tumor Immunity" during the SITC 31st Annual Meeting & Associated Programs on November 11-13, 2016. Available here are the presentation slides and video from the session.

Session Co-Chairs

  • Francesco M. Marincola, MD – Sidra Medical and Research Center
  • Jeffrey Schlom, PhD – National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health

Program Summary

With the expanded use of immunotherapeutics such as checkpoint inhibitor monoclonals, vaccines, cellular therapies, and immune modulators in the management of many cancer types, the identification (either prior to therapy and/or early in the therapeutic regimen) of patients most likely to benefit from immunotherapy becomes more important. These studies become more complex when immunotherapeutics are used in combinations and when immunotherapeutics are used in combination with other types of therapies. Both analysis of tumor biopsies as well as an interrogation of peripheral cell subsets are being investigated. This session will deal with numerous approaches of immune analyses, including Elispot, FACS-based, RNA-seq, T-cell receptor and soluble factor assays, and potential correlations of these results with patient benefit.

Intended Audience
The audience includes U.S. and international researchers, regulators and healthcare professionals involved in cancer research and clinical care. This includes, but is not limited to basic, translational and clinical researchers; postdoctoral fellows; oncologists; registered nurses; nurse practitioners; pharmacists; payers; and other allied health professionals.
