10th International Conference on Gene Therapy of Cancer. 13-15 December, 2001, Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center, San Diego, CA, USA.
This annual meeting highlighted some incremental advances in the development of gene therapeutics, with genetic prodrug activation, novel tumor suppressor genes and replicating viral vectors at the leading edge for clinical application. Imaging technologies are proving to be very useful for pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies in preclinical models and should be translated into systems that can help in the development of surrogate markers in clinical trials.
