CCIC 2019 Annual Meeting Review
Immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of cancer, as PD-1 blockade and CAR-T cell therapies are becoming the standard of care in many disease settings. However the field needs to learn much more about the basic biology of immunoregulation as well as the response and resistance mechanisms in patients to bring this to the next level. Several topics that were highlighted include:

CCIC MISSION STATEMENT
Incorporation of immunotherapy into standards of care will require a new generation of basic and clinical scientists who are well-versed in tumor immunology, as well as an infrastructure capable of monitoring immune activity and treatment outcomes. To this end, the Canadian Cancer Immunotherapy Consortium (CCIC) formed in 2008 as a forum to bring together Canadian scientists and clinicians with interest in advancing clinical translation of cancer immunotherapy. The founding members of the CCIC are (from east to west) Réjean Lapointe, (Université de Montréal), Jonathan Bramson, (McMaster University), Pamela Ohashi, (Princess Margaret Cancer Centre) and Brad Nelson (BC Cancer). The CCIC is an organization for the development, advancement and promotion of cancer immunotherapy in Canada, through 3 founding principles.
The CCIC is committed to the advancement and training of young scientists and it is our vision that the organization will be pivotal in knowledge dissemination in order to raise the profile of Canadians in immunotherapy. |
