• Fighting Cancer with the Immune System

  May 23

  9:00AM – 10:00AM

  Dr. Roy S. Herbst '84 B.S., '84 M.S., Chief of Medical Oncology, Yale Cancer Center and Smilow Cancer Hospital

  Discovery of the programmed death pathway, a key player in immune evasion by cancer cells, led to new drugs targeting key immune regulators and revolutionized treatment for many cancer types. Still, better understanding of cancer biology and continued identification of predictive markers of sensitivity and resistance remain critical. New concepts and approaches under way at Yale Cancer Center will be discussed with a focus on target validation and drug discovery.
