This special issue of ANTICANCER RESEARCH presents the Proceedings of the 24th Annual Meeting of the Society of Biotherapeutic Approaches. It is our great pleasure to introduce this issue expressing my sincere gratitude to the Editors of Anticancer Research for kindly accepting and publishing the proceedings of our regional meeting in Japan in ANTICANCER RESEARCH.
The 24th meeting was held in Fukuoka, Japan on December 5, 2020, chaired by Professor Shingo Miyamoto, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine, Fukuoka University, Japan and Director, Takashi Morisaki, Fukuoka General Cancer Clinic, Fukuoka, Japan.
This year’s special lectures were given by Director, Yusuke Nakamura, Cancer Precision Medicine Center of Japanese Foundation for Cancer Research, Tokyo, Japan, Kazuma Kiyotani, Director Researcher of the Cancer Precision Medicine Center of Japanese Foundation for Cancer Research, Tokyo, Japan, and Director, Takashi Morisaki, Director of the Fukuoka General Cancer Clinic, Fukuoka, Japan, on the theme of “Cancer Immuno-Cell Therapy Targeting Neoantigens”. In addition, there were many oral presentations on a wide range of basic and clinical topics, offering impressive advances in this field.
The main aims of our Society are to facilitate good communication between basic researchers and clinicians, and to perform clinical trials with adequate informed consent in an appropriate and professional manner. These aspects include important issues for the progress of biotherapy as well as for medicine in general. It is our sincere hope that these Proceedings will contribute to further progress in the field of biotherapy and that our members will continue to foster the aims of our Society.
