TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: Enhancing Systemic Drug Delivery to Tumors Workshop (NCI)

PURPOSE: This workshop will provide the opportunity for physicians and researchers working with different cancer treatment modalities and different drug delivery strategies to take stock of current techniques used in the enhancement of systemic drug delivery and to discuss best strategies for the future. We will conduct discussions in two ‘orthogonal’ sessions covering 1) different cancer treatment modalities and their requirements on delivery approaches and 2) available delivery methodologies and their suitability to support current and emerging cancer therapies.

This workshop is organized under Cancer Moonshot initiative which aims to accelerate cancer research and to make more therapies available to more patients.
