Room 1 (Kyoto International Conference Center 1F Main Hall)

Summary

Following the approval of immune checkpoint inhibitors for various types of cancer, combined immunotherapy has continued to be developed in recent years with drugs with different action mechanisms. Differences in the immune environments of various types of cancer are being examined in this context, as the results of the same kinds of combined immunotherapy may differ depending on the type of cancer. In this session, specialists from different fields will first lecture on fundamental knowledge on and the actual practice of combined immunotherapy, as well as present clinical questions on each type of cancer. These lectures will be followed by time for general discussion to delve deeper into similarities and differences from both clinical and fundamental perspectives. The aim of this session is to help participants identify new ideas within this context for use in research and clinical practice in the future.

Summary

Research in the field of supportive/palliative care differs from general clinical oncology, and there may be some areas in which conventional methodologies do not apply. Under AMED’s research on the establishment of methodologies for supportive and palliative care clinical trials in various fields (Zenda group), rulebooks are being developed for different methodologies proposing specific methods for research on supportive and palliative care. Published in April 2021, the Dyspnea Rulebook is making waves with solutions to addressing various issues in research related to dyspnea. This symposium will enhance the understanding of physicians of oncology and others on the details of each dyspnea methodology to stimulate research in this field in the future.

Symposium 05

February 17 (Thu), 2022 16:20-17:50 (JST)
Room 4 (Kyoto International Conference Center 2F Room A)

Summary

Over 40 years ago, Dr. Peter Nowell, known for his discovery of the Philadelphia chromosome, proposed the concepts of cancer heterogeneity and genomic evolution in his review article, “The clonal evolution of tumor cell population”. Since then, the use of next-generation sequencers to collect and analyze samples from multiple locations from the same patient has significantly advanced the study of cancer heterogeneity. Presented with opportunities to experience this in actual clinical settings, today, clinical doctors are intimately familiar with the fact that cancer heterogeneity is related to prognosis and resistance to treatment. However, advances in single cell sequencing technologies, enabling sequencing at the single cell level, have pushed forward studies on cancer heterogeneity considerably. As well, the proven efficacy of cancer immunotherapy has drawn attention not only to tumor cells, but also the heterogeneous tumor microenvironment. The speakers in this symposium, who are engaged in the challenge of tumor heterogeneity using the newest analytical techniques, will present the latest research on technologies and treatments that can be applied to clinical practice.

Session Information

Symposium 06

February 17 (Thu), 2022 9:20-10:50 (JST)

Summary

The development of molecular targeted therapeutic drugs for biliary tract cancer has been actively carried out in recent years. Progress has been made in FGFR2 gene rearrangement and the development of inhibitors based on cancer genome abnormalities, in particular, while target-specific therapies, such as HER2, IDH1, and BRAF V600E, are attracting attention. Immune checkpoint inhibitors, which in a broad sense can also be considered to be a molecular targeted therapy, are also progressively being developed for biliary tract cancer. This session will introduce the current status and future perspectives of the development of molecular targeted therapy for biliary tract cancer and its introduction in clinical practice in Japan and overseas.

With a deeper understanding of molecular pathology and signaling pathways specific to these tumor cells, the development of drugs that specifically target tumor cells and clinical trials to introduce these drugs in clinical practice are being actively conducted through targeted therapies for specific cell surface molecules and molecules involved in the proliferation and activation of B-cell malignancies. This symposium aims to enhance awareness and understanding of the current state and challenges of molecular targeted therapies for B-cell lymphoma and the B-cell line of multiple myeloma with presentations by experts from Japan and overseas.

Session Information

Symposium 09

February 17 (Thu), 2022 13:20-14:50 (JST)
Room 8 (Kyoto International Conference Center 1F Sakura)

Summary

Accounting for about 60% of the world’s population, the Asian region is expected to see a significant rise in the number of cancer patients as its population rapidly ages. Against this background, Japan has made progress in developing systems in the Asian region in various sectors of industry, government and academia, focusing on the government’s Asia Health and Human Well-Being Initiative. The number of clinical trials concluded only in Japan is expected to fall in the coming years as the country’s population continues to shrink, opening up more opportunities to develop treatments within the network of the Asian region. This symposium will present initiatives that are currently being implemented by industry, government and academia to promote the development of cancer treatments in the Asian region and will discuss avenues to revitalize clinical development in Asia.
