Tumor vaccines are treatments used for cancer therapy or prevention. Tumor vaccines focus on a specific antigen, a biological molecule, specific to a tumor. A tumor vaccine trains the immune system to elicit a response against that specific antigen thus inducing immunity against cancer.
DATE: April 11, 2017TIME: 8:00 AM PT, 11:00 AM ET Checkpoint blockade therapy for cancer has had tremendous impact on clinical outcomes, yet only a subset of patients respond....
This panel will discuss quality requirements of ancillary materials used in cell therapy manufacturing, relevant standards and how requirements vary by phase. Participants will learn wh...
Fusion genes are hybrid genes formed by the fusion of two separate genes. Translocation, interstitial deletion and chromosomal inversions are some of the genetic events that can lead to the f...
Tumors often evade immune destruction by adapting and circumventing immune checkpoints to create resistance. This adaptive immunity can be reversed to stimulate the endogenous immune re...
Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) and Endometrioid Endometrial Carcinoma (EEC) are two lethal diseases of public health importance worldwide. Understanding the mechanisms of tumor progression in...
Success of the personalized medicine strategy depends on our ability to access the genetic variance landscape continuously before, during and after treatment. Liquid biopsies provide us...
One of the primary goals of precision medicine is the aggregation and interpretation of deep, longitudinal patient-specific data in the context of the digital universe of information, using a...
Precision medicine promises a more effective approach to disease treatment and management. It is based on analyzing mutations of disease samples to unlock mechanisms of disease development an...
Cancer immunotherapy has demonstrated promising results. However, to date, researchers have failed to overcome the complex interplay between the immune system and the immune suppressive tumor...
Cancer is complex, but recent findings are yielding a greater understanding of the disease. The tumor suppressor genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 are implicated in breast, ovarian, prostate, and other c...
