LUGANO, Switzerland - The ESMO Targeted Anticancer Therapies Congress 2022, designed for basic scientists, physicians and translational researchers belonging to academic settings, industry and regulatory agencies will be held as a virtual meeting.
The scientific programme will provide new data and insightful presentations in the area of drug discovery and development for a broad range of targets, precision medicine and early clinical trial methodology.
Programme highlights
- The role of COVID-19 vaccination to bring early phase anticancer drug development back to normal
- Targeting resistance to immunotherapy and new immune pathways to optimise immunotherapy efficacy in NSCLC
- The personalisation of antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) as the future of therapeutic strategies
- Breakthrough research combining ctDNA and computational biology to uncover new vulnerabilities of cancer
- T-cells, CAR-T cells and beyond:
- Redirecting T-cells to kill cancer cells
