Track: Cancer Research Therapy and Autoimmune Diseases
The "Cancer Research Therapy and Autoimmune Diseases" session will focus on the intersection of cancer research and autoimmune disorders, exploring how advances in cancer therapies can influence autoimmune conditions, and vice versa.
Recent research has revealed intriguing connections between cancer and autoimmune diseases. In both cases, the immune system plays a critical role, either failing to prevent cancer or mistakenly attacking the body’s own tissues in autoimmune diseases. This session will examine how breakthroughs in cancer therapies influence autoimmune conditions and delve into the biological pathways that overlap between these conditions, highlighting how understanding these links can lead to innovative treatment approaches.
Key Topics Covered
This session will address several crucial areas including
Cancer Research and Chemotherapy: Examining the latest developments in
chemotherapy and how they impact patients with co-existing autoimmune
conditions.
Advancements in Cancer Therapy: Reviewing the progress in
targeted therapies and personalized medicine, focusing on how these approaches
can be adapted for patients with autoimmune diseases.
Immunosuppressants: Understanding the role of
immunosuppressive drugs in managing autoimmune conditions and how they might
affect cancer treatment and progression.
Autoimmune Responses in Cancer Patients: Exploring the
delicate balance between activating the immune system to fight cancer and
preventing unwanted autoimmune reactions.
Checkpoint Inhibitors: Discussing how immune checkpoint
inhibitors, a powerful tool in cancer immunotherapy, can trigger autoimmune
side effects and strategies to manage these complications.
CAR T-Cell Therapy: Analyzing the use of CAR T-cell therapy
in cancer treatment, including its potential to induce or worsen autoimmune
conditions and ongoing research to mitigate these effects.
Targeted Treatments: Highlighting the latest targeted
therapies that specifically address the unique challenges of treating cancer in
patients with autoimmune diseases.
