摘要
The Annual American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) meeting for this year was took place at Washington, DC and over 21,900 participants from more than 80 countries attended it. About 6,400 proffered abstracts were presented reporting many advances done across different areas of cancer research: prevention, cancer biology, and clinical and translational studies. Non-biological sciences including physics, chemistry, mathematics, computational biology, and bioinformatics participated to the increased diversity and originality of the presented works. Major discoveries done in the field of tumor immunology and immunotherapy were once again a main focus of the meeting with their broad discussions. In particular, our better understanding of the immune response towards cancer and the mechanisms of immune escape has rapidly grown in the past. This contributed to the development of new immunotherapies and led to the identification of new strategies to better use those that already exist. In this special issue of Oncology, mentoring medical doctors of the French association AERIO (Association d'enseignement et de recherche des internes d'oncologie) describe the most relevant topics presented at the meeting. This mentoring is part of an exciting project wherein five young medical doctors are permitted to participate each year at the annual AACR meeting to report, through the redaction and publication of articles, key information to people who could not attend to the conference.
