RECENT ADVANCES IN CANCER IMMUNOTHERAPY
Immunotherapy has tremendous potential for treatment of cancer in dogs. Clinical trials of antibody therapeutics in human oncology have demonstrated remarkable results in inducing tumor regressions and cures against a variety of cancer types.
This presentation will focus on the current status and research in the area of cancer immunotherapy for dogs. Discussion will include:
-
Major immune targets for new cancer immunotherapies
-
Strategies for generating effective cancer immunity
-
How we can repurpose existing drugs as cancer immunotherapies
-
Updates on recent cancer immunotherapy trials
