Evading cell death is a hallmark of cancer cells, which contributes to tumour growth and therapeutic resistance. But cancer cells also highjack mechanisms like protective autophagy or senescence to promote tumour growth.

Cell death is an important determinant of the immune response to cancer, which may either increase the antitumour effect or promote tumour growth.

The conference will cover exciting new insights into this highly-relevant field, so please join us in Amsterdam to be stimulated by the latest research updates!

Topics to be covered

• Mechanisms and regulation of classical apoptotic and non-classical modes of cell death
• Mechanistic insight into autophagy and senescence
• Therapeutic strategies modulating cell death in cancer cells
• Impact of cell death on immune responses to cancer and cancer therapies
