INTRODUCTION Tn association with the EBMT Solid Tumor Working Party, we are pleased to invite you to attend the 3 rd International Allogeneic Transplantation for Solid Tumors (ATST) meeting in Siena, Italy on March 28 th, 2008. This one day meeting will be held at the charming medieval Santa Maria della Scala Museum, formerly one of European oldest hospitals. The town of Siena is approximately a 40 minute car drive from Florence, where the 34 th annual EBMT meeting will commence, following the ATST meeting, on March 30 th, 2008. Over the past 10 years, investigators across the world have pursued investigational trials of reduced intensity allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation for a number of metastatic tumors to test whether the graft-vs-leukemia effect could be extended to tumors of epithelial origin. Case reports of solid tumors regressing months after the conditioning regimen have provided proof of concept of the existence of a graft-vs-solid tumor effect. Importantly, some patients with renal cell carcinoma and breast cancer achieved complete responses which persist more than 5 years after transplantation, suggesting this immune effect may have the potential to cure. The 3 rd ATST meeting will update results on allogeneic transplantation for solid tumors, highlighting the collected experience with metastatic renal cell carcinoma, breast carcinoma, and colon cancer. Although reduced intensity regimens have proven to be feasible and associated with limited toxicities, new strategies that enhance the allogeneic anti-tumor response appear to be a promising area of research. Approximately sixteen world renowned experts in the field of tumor immuno-biology and allogeneic transplantation have been invited to speak on methods to enhance graft-vs-tumor effects utilizing tumor antigen specific T-cells, alloreactive NK cells, and post transplant tumor vaccine approaches. Bench to bedside studies investigating adoptive donor NK cells infusions to enhance graft-vs-solid tumor effects and the recent discovery of several new tumor antigens overexpressed on cancer cells identified using T-cells from responding transplant patients will be reviewed. Preclinical data evaluating transplant approaches that incorporate drugs inhibiting tumor angiogenesis and tyrosine kinases with activity against kidney cancer and breast carcinoma will be reviewed. The final portion of the programme will be dedicated to constructing an international solid tumor transplant consortium to pursue multi-center studies investigating novel allogeneic immunotherapy protocols for solid tumors. Meeting attendees are invited and encouraged to submit and present an overview of proposed transplant protocols for consideration of sponsorship by this consortium. Marco Bregni Richard W.
