时间：2016 年5 月28 日（星期六）晚上7:00 起
地点：华盛顿大学医学院K-450 会议室（1959 NE Pacific Street, Seattle, WA 98195）
内容：学术讲座

1. 癌症治疗的最新进展和发展方向
Overview of Recent Progresses and Future Directions in Cancer Therapy
高泽人 博士 (Zeren Gao, Ph.D., SystImmune, Inc.)

癌症在所有死亡因素中排名第二，美国2013年有超过58万人死于癌症，占所有死亡人数的22%。美国政府和企业花费了大量的资金用于癌症的基础研究和新药开发。新的治疗方法，比如靶向治疗，免疫治疗等等给癌症病人带来了希望。这次报告的重点是抗体在癌症治疗方面的最新进展，包括双特异性抗体，抗体偶联药物等等，以及转化医学在癌症新药开发方面的应用。

2. 癌症治疗新进展：免疫检查点抑制剂疗法
Checkpoint Inhibitors in Cancer Treatment
廖新生 博士 (Xinsheng Michael Liao, M.D., Ph.D., Partner Oncology, Inc.)

癌症的产生被认为是免疫耐受，因此免疫疗法的主要机制就是打破免疫耐受。黑素瘤是用于免疫治疗的模型系统，过去对于黑素瘤的主要免疫疗法包括干扰素和高剂量白细胞介素。干扰素和白细胞介素的作用机制是加强免疫力，但这种免疫是非特异性的，并不能打破免疫耐受。另外，干扰素有许多副作用，而高剂量白细胞介素比干扰素毒性更大。为了克服这些传统免疫疗法的缺点，最近提出了免疫检查点抑制剂新疗法。这些抑制剂能够打破免疫耐受，不但可以在门诊使用，而且副作用大大减轻，治疗效果明显提高，让大多数患者能够过上正常的生活，给癌症治疗带来了新的希望。
