1st Annual European Congress on Immunotherapies in Cancer

1st Annual European Congress on Immunotherapies in Cancer is organized by Physicians Education Resource, LLC (PER) and would be held during Sep 23 - 24, 2016 at W Barcelona, Barcelona, Cataluna, Spain. The target audience for this medical event basically for healthcare professionals (physicians, physicians-in-training, oncology nurses, pharmacists, physicians' assistants, etc.). Participants will primarily be those whose practice requires mastery and a critical understanding of the fundamental principles, pivotal published studies, and emerging information on immunotherapies and their evolving roles in the treatment of cancer.

Overview
The clinical development of immunotherapies is undoubtedly one of the hottest areas in cancer research today. It is now well appreciated that the tumor microenvironment and the host immune system play important roles in cancer biology. With that understanding, modern-day immunotherapeutic approaches have emerged that do not directly target cancer cells, but harness the adaptive and innate powers of the immune system to combat cancer. These innovative strategies have been practice-changing for the management of a number of malignancies and continue to transform the way clinicians think about treating cancer. In addition to landmark data on the integration of new strategies into evolving treatment paradigms, preclinical and clinical data continue to rapidly accumulate on immunotherapy basic science.

However, the rapidity of the changes in the field and information that continues to emerge create practice and/or educational gaps for busy clinicians who strive to maintain state-of-the-art care for their patients with cancer. Educational initiatives that allow experts to place noteworthy evidence on immunotherapeutic strategies in its proper clinical context will bridge these educational gaps and optimize clinical practices.
