British Association for Cancer Research Conference

The British Association for Cancer Research’s (BACR) Conference on Development of Cancer Medicines

The use of preclinical and clinical information to inform patient selection for novel cancer therapies is key, with the development and use of models to interrogate target dependencies based on molecular pathology being well-established. Recent studies also suggest that it may be valuable to integrate additional information into patient selection hypotheses, including considerations of tumor metabolism, the type and extent of immunological infiltrate in a tumour, or the acquisition of a mesenchymal phenotype. This one-day conference involves leading investigators working at the translational interface in oncology to better define disease subtypes and guide precision medicine decisions.
