The University of Cincinnati Cancer Center’s Trisha Wise-Draper, MD, PhD, will present early data from a Phase 2 clinical trial showing a combination of immunotherapy medications can activate a robust immune response and help overcome treatment resistance in patients with refractory melanoma at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer 40th Anniversary Annual Meeting Nov. 7.
As immunotherapy continues to transform cancer care, researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center are sharing new insights at the 2025 Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) Annual Meeting about how the immune system can be trained, guided and strengthened to improve patient outcomes.
MD Anderson scientists and clinicians will present nearly 30 abstracts and lectures at this year’s meeting. Below is a selection of key questions that will be addressed in oral abstracts and presentations.
