A research team led by Fumito Ito, MD, PhD, FACS, reports new data on the promise of combining standard treatment for breast cancer with a particular form of cancer immunotherapy — dendritic-cell (DC)  treatment vaccines.

Nearly two decades ago, first responders from across New York State answered the call for help when thousands of people were killed and injured in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. A new program at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center will make sure these brave police officers, firefighters and emergency personnel don’t need to cross the state to protect themselves from the long-term health effects they may still be dealing with because of their 9/11-related service.

Two Roswell Park experts were invited to present new insights on treatment of gastroesophageal cancers during the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) World Congress on Gastrointestinal Cancer 2021. Both highlighted easily adoptable methods that may help other clinicians to provide care supporting improved patient outcomes.
