This symposium is designed for medical, surgical, and radiation oncologists, pharmacists, other healthcare providers (physician assistants, nurses, nurse practitioners), and research scientists who have an interest in the biology, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer, as well as those who diagnose and treat patients with nonmalignant vascular diseases.
The outstanding faculty is comprised of over 35 expert specialists and co-chaired by George W. Sledge, Jr., MD, Robert S. Kerbel, PhD, Lee M. Ellis, MD, Axel Grothey, MD, Helen X. Chen, MD, and Mario Sznol, MD. Through didactic presentations, interactive panel discussions, and Q&A sessions, the conference will serve as a platform to discuss and evaluate many of the basic research and clinical challenges for optimal integration of antiangiogenesis and immune-modulating agents into existing treatment paradigms for cancer care, appropriate selection of patients based on biomarker profiles for individualized treatment strategies, and use of these agents in the adjuvant and advanced disease settings.
