Together, we make IT happen.

The Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) is the world’s only member-driven society dedicated to professionals working in the field of cancer immunotherapy. SITC members dedicate their time and talent to advance science, discover breakthroughs and educate the world on cancer immunotherapy. In short: to make the word “CURE” a reality for cancer patients everywhere.

Corporate Membership

SITC corporate memberships provide organizations vested in cancer immunotherapy and cancer research a forum to address common issues impacting the field with the goal of improving cancer patient outcomes. In 2024, SITC corporate members gathered with leaders from SITC and the FDA to discuss Project Optimus and accelerated approval for metastatic disease and connecting these mechanisms to potential use for cellular therapies and relevant endpoints such as objective response rate, progression free survival, and (landmark) overall survival. Additionally, the group discussed perioperative disease and its relevancy to endpoints such as pathologic complete response and circulating tumor DNA.

Financial Health

SITC remains financially strong, with just under $25M in unrestricted net assets. This equates to almost two years worth of operating expenses. Operating income in 2024 was about $12.5M and operating expenses totaled $13.8M, which results in an operating net loss of just over $1.3M. Fortunately, SITC’s investment income is projected to make up about $800K of the operating net loss.
