Résumé

Plus de 21 900 participants issus de plus de 80 pays ont participé cette année à la réunion annuelle de l’AACR qui s’est tenue à Washington DC. Environ 6 400 travaux y ont été présentés, travaux qui abordaient de nombreuses découvertes faites dans les différents domaines de la recherche sur le cancer: prévention, biologie du cancer, études translationnelles et cliniques. De nombreuses études incluant des sciences non biologiques telles que la physique, la chimie, les mathématiques ou la bio-informatique ont également été dévoilées, accroissant la diversité et l’originalité des données présentées. Plus spécifiquement, les découvertes récentes faites dans le domaine de l’immunologie tumorale et de l’immunothérapie ont de nouveau été largement abordées et discutées. À ce sujet, notre compréhension de la réponse immunitaire contre les tissus tumoraux et des mécanismes d’échappement immunitaire mis en jeu s’est fortement accrue ces dernières années. Celle-ci a contribué au développement de nouvelles immunothérapies et à l’identification de nouvelles stratégies permettant d’optimiser l’utilisation de celles déjà existantes. Dans ce numéro spécial d’Oncologie, les jeunes médecins de l’association française AERIO (Association d’enseignement et de recherche des internes d’oncologie), supervisés par des médecinschercheurs, présentent les sujets les plus pertinents présentés lors de la réunion de l’AACR 2017. Cette action fait partie intégrante d’un projet qui permet chaque année à cinq jeunes médecins de participer à cette conférence de premier plan et d’en diffuser, grâce à la rédaction d’articles, les informations clés qui en sont issues auprès des professionnels ayant été dans l’incapacité d’y assister.

Abstract

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.
