PROGRAM THEMES
Several themes cut across these scientific focus areas:
- To advance the understanding of cell and tissue context complexities of tumors of the prostate and kidney
- To identify immune defects and tissue-specific markers for diagnosis, detection, prognosis and targeting of tumors of the prostate and kidney
- To develop immunologic, surgical, radiation and chemotherapeutic tumor specific therapeutics for tumors of the prostate and kidney
PROGRAM INFORMATION
The goal of the Prostate Cancer Focus Group is to translate understanding of basic genetic and biologic mechanisms to an improved cure rate by understanding its molecular basis, prognostic factors, and therapeutic responses.
Scientific Focus Areas:
- Prostate Cancer - includes Molecular Basis, Prognostic Factors and Therapeutic Responses
- Renal Cancer - includes Immune Mediated Therapies, Tumor Resistance, and Treatment with Novel Agents that Target VEGF and PDGF Signaling Pathways
