Abstract

Translational research, including translation oncology, bridges the gap between basic research and clinical practise by bringing together disciplines, resources, expertise and techniques to improve the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. Veterinary medicine plays a critical and integral part in helping translate recent advancements in therapeutic opportunities from bench to bedside, helping animal and human patients alike. To connect and involve researchers from all areas of life sciences, it is also important to present the results to promote translational studies and share their importance.

Translacijska onkologija skozi perspektivo enega zdravja

Izvleček: Translacijske raziskave, vključno s translacijsko onkologijo, zapolnjujejo vrzel med temeljnimi raziskavami in klinično prakso s povezovanjem disciplin, virov, strokovnega znanja in tehnik za izboljšanje preprečevanja, diagnosticiranja in zdravljenja bolezni. Veterinarska medicina ima ključno vlogo pri prenosu novih načinov zdravljenja iz predkliničnih raziskav v klinično prakso, kar prinaša dobrobit tako bolnim živalim, kot ljudem. Pomembno je tudi seznanjanje širše javnosti z rezultati raziskav in njihovega pomena, z namenom spodbujanja translacijskih študij.

Ključne besede: eno zdravje; prevodna onkologija; elektrokemoterapija; genski elektrotransfer, IL-12
