Course Description: Immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer therapy, but is only successful in a minority of patients.  In this mini-course we will focus on mechanisms of tumor evasion that enable the initial establishment of cancer,  their ability to escape immune-based therapeutics, and strategies to overcome these obstacles. We will cover the latest cutting-edge papers on these topics in a round table discussion format.”
