會議報導 第11屆亞洲臨床腫瘤學會研討會暨第19屆台灣癌症聯合年會會議報導 Report on the 11th International Conference of the Asian Clinical Oncology Society in conjunction with the 19th Taiwan Joint Cancer Conference
大會主題為「癌症治療的新畛域-亞洲腫瘤學家的挑戰」,演講規劃亞洲地區主要癌症等各類議題,總計邀請超過250位學者專家,進行4場keynote speeches、3場award lectures、5場meet the professors、35場scientific lectures、12場luncheon symposiums及9場satellite symposiums專題演講,以及6場oral presentations。藉由國際會議的舉辦,向國外知名機構及學者宣揚台灣之癌症學術及臨床研究成果,增強本國與國際研究接軌、促進國際癌症試驗合作與建立國際醫學聲譽。
本院有數位研究員受邀於此次大會演講:龔行健院長於keynote speech之專題演講為「Metabolism and cancer therapeutics: Targeting arginine addiction of cancers」;Gastrointestinal tract (non-colon) cancer session中,癌症研究所陳立宗代理所長演講「Update medical treatment for advanced biliary tract cancer、張俊彥特聘研究員(成大醫學院院長)演講「D-Penicillamine exerts synergism with platinum drugs through modulation of the expression of copper transporters in oxaliplatin-resistant human gastric cancer cells」、常慧如副研究員演講「Current controversies in the management of locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma」;感染症與疫苗研究所劉士任博士於Gynecologic oncology議題演講「Protein-based immunotherapy for HPV associated cancer」。
日本Kobayashi Foundation for Cancer Research於每屆ACOS會議提供亞洲臨床腫瘤研究大獎,該獎項主要頒發給亞洲臨床腫瘤研究傑出科學家,以獎勵並肯定該研究者在癌症研究卓著之貢獻。本院癌症研究所陳立宗所長今年以「Developing novel treatment strategies for gastrointestinal cancers – Progress in the management of pancreatic adenocarcinoma」研究於亞洲各國傑出腫瘤專家中脫穎而出,榮獲「第3屆Kobayashi Foundation Award」之肯定,並於會中之專題演講為「Clinical trial-guiding treatment strategies for pancreatic adenocarcinoma in Taiwan」。
