Over the past decade, two new hallmarks have emerged: reprograming of cellular energy metabolism and the evasion of immune destruction. These hallmarks are driven and sustained by genomic instability and inflammation. This session, encompassing seven talks, will address many of these hallmarks and enabling characteristics, a greater understanding of which is central to improved diagnostic, preventative and therapeutic approaches to cancer.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Co-Chairs: <a href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/riinbre\/niall-howlett\/\">Niall Howlett<\/a> (RI), <a href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/riinbre\/sherine-elsawa\/\">Sherine Elsawa<\/a> (NH).
