Saturday, April 2, 2022
11:25 AM – 11:45 AM
Room: 111 AB - Pennsylvania Convention Center
Introduction: This session will discuss recent advances in targeting autophagy as a treatment for cancer. Four leading investigators will discuss recent advances in the field that explain how autophagy modulation in cancer can affect anti-tumor immunity, how lysosomes regulate cancer behavior, the development of new autophagy inhibitors that target the lysosome in novel ways, and how cancer cell resistance to autophagy inhibitors can arise and may be circumvented.
