Imuno-Oncologia
O grupo de pesquisa em Imuno-Oncologia surgiu em 2019-2020 com o objetivo de estudar o papel da resposta imune dos pacientes com câncer, quando tratados com imunoterapia. O objetivo principal desta tinha de pesquisa é investigar marcadores imunológicos capazes de distinguir pacientes respondedores de não-respondedores à terapia com inibidores de checkpoint imunológico, em pacientes tratados no Hospital de Amor de Barretos. Acreditamos que com a caracterização do sistema imune destes pacientes, possamos guiar a expansão da imunoterapia para nossa população e assim, poderemos desenvolver melhores estratégias para a identificação dos pacientes que se beneficiarão deste tratamento, permitindo o uso racional desta abordagem terapêutica. Esperamos que os resultados obtidos possam ser aplicados na prática clínica da especialidade, permitindo um melhor delineamento do prognóstico, além do desenvolvimento de novos esquemas terapêuticos para o tratamento destes pacientes, de forma a contribuir para melhoras nas taxas de sobrevida e na qualidade de vida.
