New Strategies for Cancer Immunotherapy

An expert panel will discuss the interplay between cancer and the immune system, and how researchers develop immunotherapies and other immune-supporting strategies against cancer.

 LIVE Symposium

Monday, October 23, 2023
1:00 - 4:00 PM Eastern Time

The immune system plays a large role in a body’s fight against cancer, but tumors can avoid the immune response. Scientists work to restore anti-cancer immune activity by augmenting existing immune mechanisms and circumventing tumor immune-evasion strategies.

In this virtual symposium brought to you by The Scientist, an expert panel will examine immunotherapies and other immune-supporting strategies that help prevent, control, and eliminate cancer.
