Track: Cancer Pharmacology & Immunology

Sub-Track:
Cancer pharmacology focuses on
the study of drugs used in the treatment of cancer. It involves the
investigation of drug mechanisms, pharmacokinetics (how drugs are absorbed,
distributed, metabolized, and excreted in the body), and pharmacodynamics (how
drugs interact with their targets in the body). Cancer pharmacology aims to
develop effective and safe therapies that selectively target cancer cells while
minimizing damage to healthy tissues. It involves the development of
chemotherapy drugs, targeted therapies, immunotherapies, and other anti-cancer
agents. Immunology, on the other hand, is
the study of the immune system and its role in protecting the body against
diseases, including cancer. Cancer immunology focuses specifically on
understanding how the immune system recognizes and eliminates cancer cells and
how tumors evade immune responses. It investigates the interaction between
cancer cells and the immune system, aiming to develop strategies to enhance
immune responses against cancer. This includes the development of
immunotherapies, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors, CAR-T cell therapy, and
cancer vaccines, which harness the body's immune system to target and destroy
cancer cells. The fields of cancer pharmacology
and immunology are highly intertwined. Pharmacological approaches often involve
the use of immunotherapies or immunomodulatory drugs to enhance the immune
response against cancer. Additionally, understanding the pharmacology of
anti-cancer drugs is essential for optimizing their efficacy and minimizing
toxicity. The development of targeted therapies and immunotherapies has
revolutionized cancer treatment, leading to improved outcomes and prolonged
survival for many patients. Ongoing research in cancer
pharmacology and immunology aims to further advance our understanding of the
complex interactions between cancer cells and the immune system. This research
includes identifying new drug targets, developing more precise and personalized
therapies, and overcoming resistance mechanisms. By integrating pharmacological
and immunological approaches, researchers strive to improve cancer treatment
strategies and ultimately provide better outcomes for patients with cancer.
