TEST TEST Grand Rounds

Duarte, CA US
April 3, 2020

The field of research regarding the gut microbiome and immuno-oncology is still relatively new and burgeoning. To date, there have been few large-scale prospective trials in this field and many studies are exploratory. Over the past few years, much attention has been focused on the gut microbiome and its impact on immuno-based cancer therapeutics. Although there exists evidence suggesting that modulating the gut microbiome may impact responses to immunotherapy, optimal strategies of how to achieve this are unclear and examined in an exploratory fashion. 

Target Audience

Physicians, nurses, and all other health care providers interested in the topic.

Learning Objectives

  • Demonstrate an understanding of the evidence and mechanisms behind the gut microbiome's potential to modulate cancer patients' responses to immunotherapy.
  • Discuss results of human studies to-date that have shown a critical role of the gut microbiome in impacting survival and tumor responses to immunotherapy. 
  • Outline ongoing trials of the gut microbiome and immuno-oncology at City of Hope.
  • Integrate gut microbiome studies in future projects.
