Preface It is a great pleasure to present the 2010 annual report of CCA/V-ICI. The institute is really flourishing with an even rising production in scientific output, both quantitatively and qualitatively. In 2010, some important steps were made: the foci in patient care of VUmc: "zwaartepunten", were further defined. For CCA/V-ICI cancer and immunology in patient care go side by side with the researchprograms and further integration of care and research are very rapidly progressing. I wish you much pleasure in reading this report! Peter Huijgens, director 5 6 2. Description of CCA/V-ICI 2. Description of CCA/V-ICI CCA/V-ICI is one of the five research institutes of the VU University Medical Center. CCA/V-ICI was created to integrate all research efforts in oncology and immunology in such a way that they strengthen themselves to reach well-defined, interconnected goals. Furthermore, CCA/V-ICI aims to create new facilities for fundamental and clinical research, both in terms of laboratory facilities, and technical equipment, and will stimulate cooperation. CCA/V-ICI is positioned horizontally in the structure of the VUMC, thus interfacing with the different divisions of clinical and pre-clinical departments. The CCA/V-ICI organization is built around the top researchers in oncology and immunology in the VUMC. They are the members of the executive board, advising the management board that heads the institute. A detailed description of the organization of CCA/V-ICI, together with the organization scheme is given in appendix 1. About 75% of all VUmc medical departments are involved in research focussed on oncology and/or immunology. Research is conducted within five well defined research themes. Furthermore, five tumour types and two immunological disorders have been selected to form the focus for ongoing research efforts during virtually every stage of the disease. These include colorectal cancer, lung cancer, head and neck cancer, haematological cancers, neuro-oncology, rheumatoid disease, coeliakie, contact dermatitis and inflammatory bowel disease. In these patient groups, comprehensive clinical and research programmes will be established in which clinical care and research are fully integrated. These range from early detection and diagnosis to treatment and palliative care. Furthermore, CCA/V-ICI has excellent research expertise on HPV-related tumors, esophagus cancer, prostate cancer, retinoblastomas,breast cancer, psoriasis, insulin allergy and autoimmune hepatitis. To ensure that all the clinicians and researchers within CCA/V-ICI remain highly qualified, a lifelong learning programme has been set up, starting with undergraduate (bio)medical students and continuing through Master’s and PhD level to postgraduate/specialist training and beyond. Mission The mission of CCA/V-ICI is to coordinate, stimulate and facilitate: - top level fundamental, translational and patient related research in immunology and cancer, within the framework of a defined number of research themes - top level multidisciplinary patient care - creation of excellent facilities for research and patient care - training of (young) investigators to ensure excellent fundamental and clinical researchers - optimal training of health care workers - fundraising To this end the tasks of CCA/V-ICI are: - Development of long-term policy - Attuning the institutional policy and the policies of the participating (heads of) departments - Facilitation and coordination of oncology and immunology research - Quality control and stimulation of research by stimulating cross interfaces between departments, research groups and clusters - Training, supervision and assessment of graduate students in research - Organization of courses, national and international seminars, entrance examinations, publications, conferences and all that is necessary in this frame work - Facilitation of multidisciplinary patient care and early diagnosis - Facilitation of providing information to patients and their relatives - Facilitation of the development of cure/care pathways for oncological and immunological patients groups - Facilitation of research facilities - Quality control and stimulation of support systems for clinical research - Training of health care workers; a.o. in the medical curriculum, and post-academic education - Coordination of the funding of programs 7 2. Description of CCA/V-ICI CCA/V-ICI future plans CCA/V-ICI aims to take and hold a leading position in fundamental and patient related research in cancer and immunology and to improve curative and palliative patient care and to be an attractive partner for external partners. In particular CCA/V-ICI will focus on: • Virus-induced oncogenesis and the role of cancer genes in frequently occurring sporadic and inherited tumors • Development of cell based immunotherapy against cancer and new immunosuppressive methods in immunological diseases • Classification of diseases and disease monitoring by molecular imaging, genomics and proteomics • Introduction and evaluation of new therapeutic modalities, combining immunotherapeutical approaches, DNA technology and improving existing therapy methods • Translational research: what benefit will the aforementioned focus points bring for the patients. • Generation of improved knowledge about quality of life of childhood and adult patients with oncological and immune-mediated diseases and their families and conduction of high quality innovative translational research into developments and readily available new supportive care strategies. 8 3. Structure of CCA/V-ICI 3. Structure of CCA/V-ICI The research projects in CCA/V-ICI are grouped in programs headed by three to five program leaders who are responsible for the organization, the coordination and the quality of the program. The program leaders constitute the Executive Board of CCA/V-ICI that reports to the Management Board of CCA/V-ICI. Program 1: Oncogenesis Program 1 covers both basic and translational research and is divided into two subthemes: 1. Viral oncogenesis, progression and early diagnostics 2. Genetic predisposition and cancer genes Program 2: Immunopathogenesis The CCA/V-ICI program 2 covers both fundamental and pre-clinical research in which immunological processes underlying homeostasis control, in relation with inflammatory diseases and cancer form major topics of research. Program 2 is subdivided into three research lines: 1. Homeostasis control and Inflammation 2. Host-pathogen interaction 3. Tumor immunology and pre-clinical immune therapy Program 3: Disease profiling The CCA/V-ICI program 3 covers fundamental and translational research to identify new determinants for diagnosis, prognosis and tailored treatment for immunological and oncological diseases. Program 3 is subdivided in three disease oriented research lines: 1. Solid tumors 2. Hematological malignancies 3. Chronic inflammatory diseases Program 4: Innovative therapy The CCA/V-ICI program 4 encompasses translational research within the field of oncological and immune-mediated, non-oncological diseases. The program has been organized along four research lines: 1. Chemotherapy 2. Immunotherapy 3. Radiotherapy and surgery 4. Gene therapy Program 5: Quality of life The CCA/V-ICI program 5 encompasses research within the field of quality of life of childhood and adult patients with oncological and immune-mediated, non-oncological diseases. The program “Quality of life” addresses four main topics: 1. Patient and proxy reported outcome 2. Allied health services and lifestyle 3. Psycho-oncology 4. Palliative Care 9 10 4. SWOT analysis 4. SWOT analysis Strengths: • Strong clinical and fundamental research units in one institute with excellent translational research lines • Excellent facilities • Excellent teaching program, including strong masterprograms • Flat organization, theme meetings and general meetings • Coordinated project applications • Outpatient facility • Strong departments represented in all crucial committees • A number of exceptional strong clinical departments nationwide and worldwide (Pathology, Otolaryngology/Head-Neck Surgery, Hematology, Medical Oncology) Weakness: • Dispersion in “therapy program” • Limited equipment budget • Strong dependence of translational research on patient mix Opportunities: • Development of more bench to bedside research lines • Integration of immunological and cancer research to develop new immunotherapeutical approaches • New imaging facility • Cooperation with other research institutes in Amsterdam and the western part of the Netherlands Threats: • Financial situation of university medical centers in the Netherlands • Increasing focusing of VUMC towards patient care because of financial reasons 11 12 5.

The research programs of CCA/V-ICI A long-term policy is developed for the programs, covering their focus, the need for personnel and materials, their budgets and their development. These long-term plans constitute the basis of the long-term policy of CCA/V-ICI. Research projects are evaluated on their (intrinsic) qualities and on their potential to strengthen the program as a whole. The program leaders present such projects in the EB for advice upon which the Management Board decides to allow or not to allow the project into CCA/V-ICI. A list of all ongoing projects per program is shown in appendix 7. a. Description Program 1: Oncogenesis Program leaders: - Prof. R.H. Brakenhoff, PhD (Otolaryngology/Head-Neck Surgery) - Prof. H. Joenje, PhD (Clinical Genetics) - Prof. P.J.F. Snijders, PhD (Pathology) Program 1 covers both basic and translational research and is divided into three subthemes: 1. Viral oncogenesis 2. Cancer genomics 3. Genetic predisposition A major common objective of the research brought together in this program is to identify and characterize viral and non-viral cancer genes as well as genes responsible for inherited cancer predisposition. Their roles in oncogenic pathways are evaluated in models and clinical material. In addition, molecular markers are sought that may be utilized for a) screening for cancer and precancerous lesions, b) risk assessment of precancerous lesions, and c) cancer prevention. To this end an integrated bench to bedside approach is followed encompassing: 1) marker identification and clinical validation, 2) test development, validation and up-scaling by robotics, 3) risk group identification, 4) cost-effectiveness modelling, and 5) public acceptance studies. Screening studies are running for oral precancer, colorectal cancer and cervical cancer, in various risk groups, and often in the context of population-based screening trials. 1. Viral oncogenesis This subtheme focuses on the role of human papillomaviruses (HPVs) and Epstein Barr virus (EBV) in the development of human cancers, such as anogenital cancers, head and neck cancers, and lymphomas. Virus-induced oncogenic progression is investigated using both in vitro models and clinically well-defined patient material, and the genes involved in this process are identified and characterized. Viral and host markers are already being tested in screening and clinical trials for their capability to assess the risk of premalignant disease with an increased sensitivity and specificity compared to currently existing methods, and newly identified markers will be investigated likewise. 2. Cancer genomics Aimed at testing progression models for several human cancers, such as head and neck, lung, gastrointestinal, cervical and ovarian cancers, this subtheme uses wellcharacterized cohorts of patients and state-of-the art high-throughput methods for genetic, epigenetic, transcriptome and proteome analyses. Candidate cancer genes are identified, placed in their respective cancer pathways, and tested for their oncogenic capacity with the aid of in vitro models. Promising progression markers are evaluated in clinical studies. 3. Genetic predisposition In this subtheme understanding the molecular mechanisms of genome destabilization, as related to the occurrence of cancer, both familial and sporadic is studied. Attention is currently focusing on Fanconi anemia (FA), for which the pathway is being unravelled (13 FA genes known to date) and mouse models are being developed. It is recognized 21 8. The research programs of CCA/V-ICI that a subset of sporadic cancers may possess a cellular FA phenotype, which might be exploited through targeted therapeutic intervention. The possibility to sensitize (resistant) tumor cells by inhibition of the FA/BRCA pathway will also be explored. Recently the genetic predisposition to breast/ovarian and colorectal cancer has come into focus and will be developed during the years to come. A strong aspect of the research brought together in this program is that patient-oriented research is complemented by unique model systems allowing to dissect the carcinogenic process in the laboratory. These model systems include: HPV-transformed cultured keratinocytes mimicking cervical carcinogenesis (Pathology), conditionally immortalized oral keratinocytes allowing unraveling of the carcinogenic cascade mimicking head and neck carcinogenesis (ORL/HNS), and transgenic animals to study the role of genomic instability in the origin of cancer (Clinical Genetics). Research highlights Program 1 within period 2004-2009 1. Establishment that implementation of HPV testing in regular cervical screening leads to earlier detection of cervical (pre)cancerous lesions, permitting extension of the screening interval. 2. Demonstration that offering self-sampling of cervico-vaginal specimens for HPV testing to non-attendees of regular cervical screening is an effective instrument to increase the coverage of the screening program. 3. Collection of evidence that high-grade cervical premalignant lesions can be subdivided into potentially early and advanced lesions on the basis of their chromosomal profiles and that HPV positive women with clinically relevant cervical lesions can be recognised by hypermethylation of certain tumor suppressor genes. 4. Development of a novel test algorithm for archival formalin fixed paraffin-embedded specimens to assess HPV involvement and establishment of the role of HPV in penile and head and neck cancer, the latter both in sporadic patient groups as in genetically predisposed Fanconi anemia patients. 5. Development of a non-invasive high-througput molecular screening test for oral precancer. 6. Classification of head and neck cancers into in least three prognostically relevant groups: those with transcriptionally active HPV, those with many genetic changes, and those without apparent changes and a normal DNA index. 7. Generation of a unique in vitro model for head and neck cancer using conditionally immortalized oral keratinocytes that will pay off the coming years. 8. Identification of five novel Fanconi anemia genes: FANCB (responsible for an X-linked form of FA), BRIP1/FANCJ (encoding a BRCA1-interacting helicase), FANCM/Hef (encoding a DNA gyrase), PALB2/FANCN (a stabilizer of BRCA2), and FANCI (encoding a binding partner of FANCD2). 9. Identification of ESCO2 as the gene defective in Roberts syndrome, a neighboring syndrome characterized by a specific type of chromosomal instability. The latter two discoveries have yielded valuable pieces to the puzzle of the FA/BRCA pathway of genomic maintenance. 10. Identification of biomarkers for stool based and serum based colorectal cancer screening The activities of program 1 can further be inferred from the extra impuls by a large Center for Translational Molecular Medicine grant with the acronym DECODE to the research line on early detection of colorectal cancer, coordinated by VUmc (prof GA Meijer). A main focus of this 18.5 million euro program will be large scale validation of molecular markers for early detection of colorectal cancer. In addition, within this program large, unique biobanks have been established. These include 200,000 cervical scrape samples from regular screening and triage cohorts, 15,000 brush samples of the oral cavity of various controls groups, Fanconi anemia patients, leukoplakia patients and treated oral cancer patients. We also have collected clinical information as well as tumor biopsies, mucosa biopsies, serum and plasma of over 350 head and neck and 200 lung cancer patients. In addition, 1,000 AFB-guided bronchial biopties of patients at risk of lung cancer, 600 sputum samples of lung cancer and COPD patients as 22 8. The research programs of CCA/V-ICI well as 750 faeces samples of colorectal cancer cases and controls have been collected and stored. The total number of genetic subtypes in Fanconi anemia has now grown to 13. However, a unique collection of cell lines and materials from Fanconi anemia families has been accumulated containing a sizable number of unclassifiable cell lines that still wait for their gene defects to be identified. This includes patients with ‘overlapping’ syndromes such as Seckel syndrome. Perspectives Within the next five years several research aims are defined. These include the establishment of a novel, cost-effective algorithm for primary HPV testing in cervical screening with additional biomarkers added for optimal triage of HPV positive women. We will also have developed (epi)genetic screening assays for colorectal and oral cancer and precancer detection, and gained insight in the cost–effectiveness of population-based screening programs in the various risk groups. In addition, we expect that the function of several existing candidate-cancer genes in head and neck, gastrointestinal, lung and cervical cancer will have been elucidated and their impact on human cancer will have been evaluated. We further expect to have detailed progression models worked out for head and neck cancer, cervical cancer as well as gastrointestinal cancers, and to have identified novel candidate-cancer genes that play a role in the development of these tumors using a combined approach of functional genetic screens, validation of putative targets by genetic analysis of tumor DNA and testing in models. Novel genes involved in the FA pathway and other chromosome fragility syndromes will have been mapped and/or identified. Mouse models for genome destabilization syndromes will have been generated and the role of FA genes in sporadic human cancers ascertained. Finally, we will have established whether loss of the FA pathway makes cells hypersensitive to inhibition of other biochemical pathways in so called synthetic lethality screens. This information may be applicable to develop new non-genotoxic therapies for sporadic cancers with the FA phenotype. In addition, targeted interference with the FA/BRCA pathway will be explored as a means to sensitize (resistant) tumor cells for chemotherapy. Together, it will be clear that the knowledge of the molecular alterations leading to cancer, as to be gained from this CCA/V-ICI program, will be of vital importance for the development of new measures to successfully prevent and/or treat cancer in the human population. Summary of the research aims for the coming 5 years: 1. Elucidation of specific genomic stabilisation mechanisms and the role of deficiencies in these mechanisms in the occurrence of cancer, both familial and sporadic. Interference with recognized targets will be explored as a means to sensitize tumor cells. This approach includes in vitro model systems as well as animal models. 2. Determination of the role of specific cancer genes in the origin of sporadic tumors. 3. Establishing the exact role of oncogenic viruses in the origin of cancer, in particular HPV and EBV. This includes the identification of viral cancer genes and additional genetic and epigenetic alterations essential for the tumors they induce. The roles of these genetic alterations in oncogenesis will be assessed, both in in vitro models and in the cancer patient. 4. Unraveling the carcinogenic process in squamous cell carcinoma of the upper aerodigestive tract and colorectal cancer, both in in vitro models, and in the cancer patient. This includes the recognition of the cancer genes and miRNAs that are most relevant in these tumors, and can be exploited for development of treatment strategies. 5. Detection of new markers to monitor progressive precursor lesions of the cervix, head and neck, colon, lung and ovarium that may develop into carcinoma. 6. Development and improvement of high-throughput molecular diagnostic methods for secondary prevention of cervical (i.e. scrapings), head and neck (i.e. scrapings), colorectal (i.e. faeces), and lung (i.e. sputum) cancer. 23 8. The research programs of CCA/V-ICI Collaboration This program is build around the three major departments that participate: Pathology, Otolaryngology/Head-Neck Surgery, and Clinical Genetics. The collaboration not only involves common research interests, but also extends to the organization of the annual master course Oncogenesis. The program leaders meet at least monthly, to make optimal use of opportunities for collaboration, and this has led to a number of important papers. The recent development of an institution for early diagnosis and prevention of cancer (Cancer Center Amsterdam, in collaboration with V-ICI) has added new perspectives on a fruitful collaboration within and amongst the various programs. Especially the establishment of a Familial Cancer Clinic with a separate Laboratory for Clinical Oncogenetics, will stimulate further collaboration within the program. Collaboration has been established with many outstanding groups, including those of the Netherlands Cancer Institute (Prof. R. Bernards, Prof. D. Peeper, Dr. R. Agami, Prof. S. Horenblas, Prof. A. Berns and Prof. H. Te Riele) and the Hubrecht laboratory is expected to pay off in the years to come. Both Profs. Peeper and Te Riele have been appointed to VUmc, and are active participants within CCA/V-ICI. There are also intensive contacts with HPV, EBV and Fanconi anemia support groups all over the worlds. Means Modern technology such as proteomics technology, microarray platforms and functional genetic screens are needed to identify new biomarkers and candidate-cancer genes that may be exploited as reliable risk-predictors for the progression of premalignant lesions, especially in cervix, colon, the head & neck region, and the lung. In addition, biostatistical support is warranted, as well as investment in high-throughput robotics. Mouse models are accessible through Prof Te Riele. Key publications 1.

Beelen, PhD (Molecular Cell Biology and Immunology) - E. Hooijberg, PhD (Pathology) - Prof. Y. van Kooyk, PhD (Molecular Cell Biology and Immunology) - Prof. R. Mebius, PhD (Molecular Cell Biology and Immunology) The CCA/V-ICI program 2 covers both fundamental and pre-clinical research in which immunological processes underlying homeostasis control, in relation with inflammatory diseases and cancer form major topics of research. Program 2 is subdivided into three research lines: 1. Homeostasis control and Inflammation 2. Host-pathogen interaction 3. Tumor immunology and pre-clinical immune therapy Program 2 studies the immune system both during its natural homeostatic control as well as its response towards micro-organisms and tumors. We have identified the following key 24 8. The research programs of CCA/V-ICI elements of which regard as the major themes within the next five years and we like to focus and strengthen our program into that direction. 1. Homeostasis control and Inflammation. Main topics are: understanding the homeostatic control of the immune system and its dysregulation in inflammatory conditions. The ontogeny of lymph node structures and the central role of stroma cells in dictating the micro-environment during lymph node development, as well as in established lymphoid organs for the induction of regulatory T cells and the induction of homing receptors on T cells. Study of immune cell subsets and post-translational modifications, in particular glycosylation are major components of study in cellular communication of immune cells, such as DC neutrophil interaction, migration of DC. In relation to the induction of inflammatory processes (bacterial, tumor related, colitis related, arthritis related, or neurology related, wound related, or allergic contact dermatitis related) we study dendritic cell and macrophage activation, receptor function and their heterogeneity, as well as interaction with matrix and endothelial cells, as well as human skin tissue models. We aim to define at the molecular level anti-inflammatory and protective actions of neutrophils, macrophages and dendritic cells that interfere with their function. Also genetic and epigenetic processes that play a critical role in the regulation of the immune response in health and disease with a specific focus on antigen presentation, T cell activation and differentiation is studied. 2. Host-pathogen interaction. Main topic is to understand immune modulatory processes of pathogens and to make a link with immune modulation in cancer. Central theme is the immune modulation of antigen presenting cells (APC), such as dendritic cells (DC) and Langerhans cells. Research will focus on how pathogens interact with different DC subsets such as myeloid DC and Langerhans cells, and how these interactions modulate DC signaling pathways resulting in immune activation or immune escape. Key innate signalling routes are investigated in DC upon pathogen contact. Identification of molecular mechanisms governing these processes will help developing novel strategies to combat not only infectious diseases but also immunological diseases and can help developing better cancer therapies. As pathogens we will study viruses (HIV-EBV, HSV, measles, HPV), bacteria’s (Mycobacterium), and helminths (schistosomes). Research on mycobacterial virulence, helminths and various viruses focuses, on understanding the immuno suppression they establish. Mycobacterial protein secretion, virulence and factors involved in granuloma formation are studied using a zebrafish infection model. 3. Tumor immunology and pre-clinical immune therapy. Central aim is to understand micro-environmental induced modulation of the immune system (function of APC) by tumors through modifications of molecular and posttranslational signatures of stromal cells and or tumor antigens. Also epigenetic processes that account for silencing of antigen presentation functions of tumor cells will be studied. For pre-clinical immune therapy, our main line of research for the next years will remain the in vivo modulation of DC phenotype and function for tumor immunotherapeutic purposes, through adenovirus-mediated genetic targeting and or liposomal technology of skin resident APC. By in-vivo modulation of DC by local cytokine administration, or the use of small molecule inhibitors, tumor-induced immunosuppressive conditions are enhanced in vivo in order to optimize DC and antitumor T cell activation. Aim is to develop widely applicable “off-the-shelf” therapeutics to boost anti-tumor immunity in adjuvant settings, combined with other treatment modalities. As separate strategies we are evaluating the potency of adoptive transfer of tumor reacting T cells, as anti-tumor therapy. The major goals of Program 2 are to progressively acquire knowledge of the normal control mechanisms of the immune system and subsequently of the subversion and modifications in pathological situations that can be accomplished by tumor development and invading pathogens or inflammatory processes such as colitis or rheumatoid arthritis. These insights should enable the identification of immunological parameters crucial for disease development and severity. The main objective is to lay the grounds for translational research programs into therapy of chronic inflammatory diseases, infections and cancer. This program combines the study of infectious diseases as well as cancers, as common 25 8. The research programs of CCA/V-ICI denominators in the immune system that may be altered or suppressed. Importantly, several cancers are due to viral infections such as EBV and HPV, linking pathogens to cancer development. The program aims to molecularly define how pathogens as well as developing tumors mitigate the immune system for their own benefit. We aim to develop strategies to overcome immune suppression and design vaccination to strengthen immune responses to eliminate tumor development and infectious diseases. Strong focus within the 3 research lines is on the study of antigen presenting cells such as dendritic cells (DC) and macrophages (MF), i.e. how they are suppressed by the tumor microenvironment (e.g.stromal cells, chemokines, secretion of inhibitory factors, genetic factors) and pathogens, to silence their immune stimulating immune responses, and induce regulatory T cells. Tumor antigens, such as CEA, MUC1 and virally derived antigens, as well as posttranslational modifications of tumors and pathogens form major focus elements employing proteomics and glycomics. To come towards pre-clinical immune strategies in-vitro and invivo targeting of tumor antigens to DC and MF is fully explored as well as adoptive transfer of tumor-specific T cells. Both innate and adaptive components of the immune system in relation with their microenvironment such as stromal cells, that may steer immune responses during infectious diseases as well as tumor development, are therefore studied. Perspectives For the next five years we aim to identify immunological parameters on molecular and cellular basis that have immune suppressive activity due to modifications in pathological situations, such as chronic inflammation, tumor development and invading pathogens. These immune regulatory parameters may lie in the field of inflammatory or tumor microenvironment, altered glycosylation, altered DC/MF function, understanding the induction of regulatory T cells preceding and during tumor development and infectious diseases. We envisage that a good combination with basic research that forms the basis of understanding escape mechanisms for immune activation will help to create innovative pre-clinical strategies to come to a better treatment of chronic inflammation, cancer and infectious diseases. The following keys were identified in program 2: 1. Strong DC and stromal cell biology and preclinical knowledge and experimental setting 2. Strong expertise in glycobiology and related tools for research 3. Excellent setting for performing human immunology based research 4. Certified laboratory available for developing immune diagnostic and monitoring strategies (Medical Immunology) 5. Unique human skin model systems for pathogen infection, DC targeting and skin inflammation and wound healing 6. Presence of unique murine tumor-models, tolerance induction models, as well as models of auto-immunity leading to chronic inflammation 7. Strong expertise in lymph node development 8. Well developed adoptive transfer technology and tetramer technology 9. Unique setting of various pathogen related research and technology 10. Very strong expertise for developing pre-clinical DC related therapies Summary of the research aims for the coming 5 years: 1. Within the next five years we envisage setting out strategic ways to target DC in-vivo with tumor antigens (receptor-targeting, adeno-viral targeting, altered-glycantargeting) with a special focus on improving treatment of colon carcinoma, breast cancer, melanoma and virally induced malignancies. Focus will lie in targeting DC invivo in such a way that both tumor specific CTL and T-helper cells are induced. For adoptive transfer purposes, we aim at generating and redirecting high avidity cytotoxic and helper T cells against virally induced malignancies such as ano-genital cancers, head and neck cancers and lymphomas, as well as against non-virally induced malignancies. 2. In the field of infection/inflammation due to invading pathogens we will especially focus on the role of stroma cells in regulating the defence mechanisms by innate cells and how this influx may be suppressed. 26 8. The research programs of CCA/V-ICI 3. In the field of inflammation, we will focus on mechanisms of allergic contact dermatis and skin wound healing in order to develop novel preventative as well as diagnostic strategies in order to prevent and treat skin related inflammation. 4. Detailed determination of molecular and genetic regulators that play a key role in tumor suppression and pathogen evasion. Knowledge on these regulatory pathways may be further developed and incorporated into clinical applications, in particular into combination with current treatments for cancer, inflammatory and infectious diseases Collaboration In VUMC: Projectleaders with projects in program 2 are based at the departments of Molecular Cell Biology and Immunology (MCBI), Medical Microbiology and Infection (MMI), Dermatology (Derma), Hematology (HEMA), Medical Oncology (Onco) and Pathology (PA) and are therefore hosted at various locations at the VUmc/CCA. Because of this lack of natural encounter for all CCA/V-ICI program 2 participants monthly seminars are organised in which projectleaders as well as scientist present their current research and future directions to stimulate collaboration. This will make projectleaders and their members more aware of the importance of conducting research within one of the CCA/V-ICI programs, and facilitate collaborations to further define and strengthen the different sub-themes within our program. The leaders of program 2 will regularly invite all projectleaders to attend to discus CCA/V-ICI related matters and ongoing research and project calls. We aim at achieving synergy by combining know-how and technical skills. This might lead to better projects that can be financed externally by for instance KWF, NWO, the EU or other sources. Outside VUMC: We have set up monthly immunology seminars in which we invite top-researchers within the field of immunology and tumor immunology to give a seminar, and to visit senior scientists within program 2 to discuss their work. This will give the scientists within program 2 an opportunity to present their work to leaders in the field which may improve their quality as well as their international exposure. We aim at promoting the PhD students to actively participate in the (after-) seminar discussions, in order to improve their skills in questioning and answering. Furthermore, for the PhD students a masterclass with the invited speakers will allow them to learn more about the research area that the seminar speaker is an expert on. We think this will be an excellent opportunity and learning process for the junior and senior scientists. Key publications 1. van de Pavert SA, Mebius RE.

The research programs of CCA/V-ICI The CCA/V-ICI program 3 covers fundamental and translational research to identify new determinants for diagnosis, prognosis and tailored treatment for immunological and oncological diseases. Program 3 is subdivided in three disease oriented research lines: 1. Solid tumors 2. Hematological malignancies 3. Chronic inflammatory diseases The emerging and rapidly growing fields of molecular imaging and genomics provide new opportunities to unravel the unique biology of a specific disease in a specific patient. Integrating imaging and global molecular information with clinical data will allow for a model that may yield tremendously valuable indicators for the individual patient to personalize diagnosis and predictions. This program is a key connection in the line: target discovery - ligand development - molecular imaging – molecular diagnostics- molecular targeted therapy Solid tumors, hematological malignancies and chromic inflammatory diseases - In all 3 research lines, modern state-of-art CT and MRI-machines enable imaging of anatomical details with high precision. In addition, imaging techniques like SPECT, PET, PET-CT and MRI provide, non-invasively, unique molecular and biological in vivo information at the tissue level (“molecular imaging”). For this purpose novel reporter probes will be developed and evaluated in (pre)clinical studies making use of the unique facilities (cyclotrons, GMP facilities, animal and clinical PET- and MRI-machines) and expertise available at the campus. - Genomics and proteomics have emerged as global tools to measure genetic variation and gene expression at several levels ie., from a gene‘s primary structure to its protein products and their role in the biology of the organism. The VUmc Microarray-facility offers high resolution oligonucleotide arrays and CGH arrays for human and mouse studies. These arrays are increasingly being applied in studies to improve criteria for disease classification, such as for colorectal, lung and head and neck cancer, lymphoma and other malignancies, and in chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. - The OncoProteomics Laboratory provides expertise in biomarker discovery in body fluids and tissue (sub-cellular) samples along with state-of-the art facilities for liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry on two complementary platforms (one for global discovery and one for targeted analyses). In-depth discovery analyses typically yield datasets of > 1000 identified proteins per sample along with quantitative information on relative abundancy, while the targeted analyses allow for multiplexed semi-high-throughput, antibody-free quantitative analyses of tenth of biomarker candidates in larger cohorts. In addition, a high throughput method has been developed for automated biofluid peptide profiling for pattern-based approaches where a combination of mass spectral peak intensities constitutes a classifier. The glycoimmunology group at the Dept. of MCBI provides expertise in glycan profiling (glycomics) using mass spectrometry. - It is the promise of high-throughput analyses that patterns of transcripts, proteins, post-translational modifications and/or metabolites can be used to define “molecular signatures” of different forms of the disease, as well as different stages in the clinical progression. The patterns that are generated with this integral approach, termed systems biology, provide insight into the processes that take place in a cell. Research highlights Program 3 within period 2006-2010 1. Identification of peripheral blood biomarkers to predict responsiveness to TNF-blockade in rheumatoid arthritis 2. Identification of peripheral blood biomarkers to predict responsiveness to IFN-beta therapy in multiple sclerosis 3. Gene signatures implicated with a 4-fold increased risk to develop arthritis in autoantibody positive arthralgia patients 4. Identification DNA copy number profiles associated with response to drug therapy in advanced colorectal cancer 28 8. The research programs of CCA/V-ICI 5. Development of immuno-PET with long-lived positron emitters 124I and 89Zr for navigation of antibody development and clinical applications: European distribution of technology. 6. Development of TKI-PET (PET with Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors radiolabed with 11C or 18F) for navigation of TKI development and clinical applications. 7. Development of PET and optical tracers for SN and tumor detection. 8. Development of nanobody technology for targeting critical growth factors and their receptors: perspectives for imaging and therapy 9. Identification of novel protein biomarkers for non-invasive early detection of colorectal cancer 10. Serum peptide mass spectral signature with prognostic value in NSCLC 11. Protein signature for identification of homology repair deficient breast tumors with prognostic value 12. Implementation and standardization of PET: clinical practice and trials 13. Monitoring response using FDG, H2O PET scanning and DCE-MRI during treatment with EGFR and VEGF inhibitors in NSCLC Perspectives Within the next five years we foresee the discovery of targets for, and development and (pre)clinical evaluation of several new SPECT and PET tracers for diagnosis, staging, treatment planning and response evaluation as well as the exploitation of PET, PET-CT,MRI and PET-MRI imaging in the development of novel therapeutics. The innovative technologies described above should contribute to further individualization of treatment, e.g. by more accurate staging, prognostication and therapy response monitoring. In recent years, we and others have introduced and validated the sentinel node biopsy (a combined procedure of imaging, taking biopsies and morphological evaluation) which proved to be an important improvement within TNM staging. The multidisciplinary infrastructure developed for breast cancer and melanoma has now been extended to head and neck cancer, gastrointestinal and gynecological tumors, using the local expertise in ultrasound guided aspiration cytology and laparoscopic surgery. The novel molecular imaging techniques have promise to step beyond the classical TNMparadigm. To this end, we aim to optimize the use of genomics and proteomics technology to reach a molecular signature of disease subtypes e.g. in colon, head and neck and lung cancer, lymphoma, and other malignancies, and in chronic inflammatory disease such as rheumatoid arthritis. In addition, we aim to translate protein candidate biomarkers into non-invasive routine antibody-based assays. The available expertise will allow for integrated application and assessment of imaging, sampling and profiling. Promising applications will be evaluated with respect to their clinical relevance and (cost) effectiveness. Efforts will be put on forming a link between molecular profiling and molecular imaging. Molecular profiling by genomics and proteomics will contribute to identification of relevant disease markers and targets. These markers will yield new molecular tests and the targets can be exploited in the development of disease specific contrast agents (e.g. using monoclonal antibodies, peptides or small molecules) for imaging as well as for therapy. Combined molecular profiling – molecular imaging approaches will be applied in several tumor types, e.g. colorectal, head and neck, lung, lymphoma and other malignancies, and in chronic inflammatory disease. Imaging will contribute to increased insight in tumor biology and pathophysiology, e.g. by pharmacokinetic and dynamic PET analysis. Also molecular interactions can be confirmed and elucidated, which might be of particular value in the development of new cutting-edge therapeutic agents like monoclonal antibodies, peptides and small molecules that target the root courses of the disease. Emerging imaging innovations that are candidates for largescale clinical application will be further evaluated with respect to their (cost) effectiveness in clinical practice, as is presently done with several PET applications. Summary of the research aims for the coming 5 years: Information on disease biology must be enhanced to facilitate the development of disease specific diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Opportunities can be found (but are not restricted) in the following areas: 1. Development of methods to reproducibly measure DNA (e.g. maCGH,and deep sequencing) and expression profiles (e.g. expression arrays and proteomics) in 29 8. The research programs of CCA/V-ICI 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. pathological and healthy tissue, or surrogate tissues like blood, urine and faeces. This approach aims to identify disease signatures, markers and targets. These markers and targets will be exploited for the development of molecular tests and tracers for imaging. Alternatively the cell type can be identified. For the aforementioned aim, SOPs have to be developed for banking of tissues, blood, saliva, and feces. Characterization of molecular signatures of tumors (precurser lesions, established tumors, metastases) or immunological diseases, which are of value for selection of the proper therapeutic intervention. Definition and integration of molecular profiles at various stages of development and progression, to provide a comprehensive view of the pathways involved in pathogenesis. Definition of tumor/pathogen and host interaction. Validation of the predictive value of various biomarkers using either tissues (see above), body fluids or images of well defined patient groups who had well-defined therapy with accurate follow-up. Development of novel in vivo imaging tools enabling non-invasive biological and molecular disease characterization for individual patients. For example for early response monitoring or for prediction of poor response upon therapy (e.g. hypoxia and angiogenesis in case of cancer therapy) or for evaluation of the specificity of targeted drugs. Disease-specific contrast agents and software tools for quantification will be developed. Initiation of clinical studies with molecular targeting agents to validate molecular targets, by taking tissue samples and or imaging, and to predict the efficacy of a given therapy. Initiation of clinical studies with targeted mass spectrometry and antibody-based methods to assess the biomarker potential in body fluids of disease-related proteins and to establish values for sensitivity and specificity. Collaboration In and outside VUmc: Projectleaders with projects in program 3 are based at several departments in the VUMC: Pathology, Otolaryngology/Head & Neck Surgery, Nuclear Medicine & PET Research, Molecular Cell Biology, Rheumatology, Hematology, Medical Oncology, Pulmonology, Gastroenterology, Radiology, Gynecology. Bilateral collaborations with leading national and international research groups have been established in the fields of genomics, proteomics, and molecular imaging. In these fields VUmc also participates in many strategic consortia (STW, TIPharma, CTMM, EU and NCI programs). In addition, many collaborations and preferred partnerships exist with leading innovative industries in the fields of molecular diagnosis, molecular imaging, and molecular targeted therapy. Means Research within CCA/V-ICI program 3 requires availability of various technology platforms, i.e. presence of state-of-the-art facilities and know-how. The following technology platforms are available, or planned to be available and in active operation within the coming year: 1. Microarray-facility that includes massive parallel sequencing 2. OncoProteomics Laboratory 3. Functional genomics unit 4. (molecular)Imaging facilities 5. Tissue microarray facility 6. Human monoclonal antibody phage display facility 7. Bio-informatics support The technology platforms are organized as user-groups. For each facility a business plan has been made and currently a business plan is being made for a VUmc Genome Center. For optimal use of capacity, an inventory is made of projects planned for each facility. Program 3 of CCA/V-ICI takes care for optimal use of these facilities, and if required the particular user-group will be contacted. In addition, projects making use of the facilities will be reviewed at a regular basis. 30 8. The research programs of CCA/V-ICI Key publications 1.

Peters, PhD (Medical Oncology) - Prof. S. Senan, MB, BS, PhD (Radiotherapy) - Prof. H.M.W. Verheul, MD, PhD (Oncology) The CCA/V-ICI program 4 encompasses translational research within the field of oncological and immune-mediated, non-oncological diseases and focuses on the following two research lines: 1. Targeted therapy, including radiotherapy, surgery and systemic therapy 2. Immunotherapy The major aim of the program is to explore potential synergies when innovative and targeted therapies are combined with classical radiotherapy and chemotherapy for both oncological and immunological diseases. This includes pre-clinical evaluation and clinical application of the new generation of the so-called molecular targeted therapies against novel cellular targets, anti-angiogenesis agents and the pharmacological optimalization of conventional cytotoxic and antirheumatic drugs. Identifying novel targets and in-house drug discovery for which (pharmaco)genomics and proteomics, as well as investigating mechanisms of drug resistance are a key focus. Imaging and disease profiling will be performed in close collaboration with CCA/V-ICI program 3. Preclinical and early studies in radiotherapy currently focus on combining radiotherapy with radiosensitizing molecular targeted therapies, with the aim of developing experimental arms for future clinical trials. Another active area of research is the optimisation of 4-dimensional image-guided approaches that aim to improve local control and reduce normal tissue toxicity. The program encompasses the work many Clinical Departments involved in clinical cancer research. It remains a fact that a significant number of them do not actively focus on clinical translational research, but are instead major referral centers for distinct immunological and oncological diseases. In the case of the latter, the clinical activities of such Departments have led to recognition as national referral centers for some disease types, stimulated patient accrual to novel clinical trials, access to new drugs, facilitated strong contacts with pharmaceutical companies, and resulted in key clinical publications. It is expected that the contributions of such clinically-orientated departments will continue to add to high-quality output of program 4 The research line Immunotherapy investigates new immunotherapeutic approaches for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and other immunological disorders as well as oncological disorders. For example a major focus of immuno-therapy of malignant disorders is evaluating the role of vaccination in the adjuvant and primary settings. Improved survival 31 8. The research programs of CCA/V-ICI rates are now achievable for a number of common malignancies by using combined modalities. Collaboration with program 2 has been initiated and will be broadened in next years. Perspectives In the next five years, specific patient-tailored therapies will be developed in a range of oncological and immunological diseases. These therapies will be directed to defined cellular- and tumor environment targets and characterization of genetic polymorphisms in order to prevent toxicity and increase anti-tumor or anti-inflammatory activity. The new techniques will be used in concert with image-guided controlled radiotherapy and surgery to further refine the concept of personalized tailored therapy. The existing expertise of both the VUMC micro-array facility and the VUMC OncoProteomics Laboratory will form a solid extension to faciclitate these aims. Furthermore, effective dendritic vaccines will be developed and evaluated in clinical studies of various malignancies. By exploiting the existing expertise within the V-ICI in immune effector-targeted approaches in cancer therapies, novel immune-therapies willl also be explored in treating auto-immune disorders Research aims for the coming 5 years: 1. Increase translational research with a focus on the early clinical application of relevant discoveries. The process of clinical evaluation can range from early studies of feasibility and toxicity to the validation of efficacy of new techniques, drugs or vaccines. 2. Focus on targeted therapy in all its forms, including pharmaceuticals, radiation, immunotherapy and surgery, directed towards the deregulated cell (arising from either malignant or immunological dysfunction) so as to improve efficacy and minimise collateral damage to normal tissues. 3. In the clinical departments that are more heavily involved in clinical cancer research in Phase I,II and III trials, every effort will be made to ensure that such trials are better integrated into existing lines of translational and immunological research. 4. Exploit the existing expertise in both immunology, oncology and imaging in order to develop novel therapeutic approaches. Collaboration In VUMC A large number of departments are involved in program 4. Translational researchers in program 4 are now working in close contact with more fundamental/pre-clinical researchers from program 1-3 in order to allow the transition of bench-to-bedside research. Information about the research meetings of all the departments in program 4 are now disseminated on the V-ICI website to stimulate cooperation among the different departments. It is anticipated that this will increase the merging of oncological and immunological research. Outside VUMC Researchers in program 4 have partnerships with industry and with other academic centers in and outside the Netherlands. This will be further exploited in the coming years.

The research programs of CCA/V-ICI Program 5: Quality of Life Program leaders: - Prof. J. Dekker, PhD (Dept Rehabilitation / Dept Psychiatry) - Prof. G.J.L. Kaspers, MD, PhD (Dept Pediatrics / Oncology-Hematology) - Prof. I.M. Verdonck-de Leeuw, PhD (Dept Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery / VU Dept Clinical Psychology) - Drs. O. Visser, MD (Dept Hematology) The CCA/V-ICI program 5 encompasses research within the field of quality of life of childhood and adult patients with oncological and immune-mediated, non-oncological diseases. The program “Quality of life” addresses four main topics: 1. 2. 3. 4. Patient and proxy reported outcome Allied health services and lifestyle Psycho-oncology Palliative Care In addition to traditional outcome measures like disease control and overall survival, quality of life has grown to become a standard outcome parameter in clinical studies. The general purpose of health-related quality of life assessment is to evaluate both the shortand long-term well-being of individuals or groups of patients/survivors and their proxies (in case of pediatric patients). It is known that self-reported health is related to mortality and morbidity and that it can be used to screen for high-risk groups. Quality of life evaluation can also be used to improve clinical management of patients by obtaining real-time feedback from individuals on quality of life issues. In addition, data from individual patient and proxy quality of life assessments can facilitate improved communication between patients and their clinicians. In general, tools to assess quality of life are questionnaires also called patient/proxy reported outcomes. Patients with oncological and immunemediated diseases and their families have to deal with adverse side-effects of disease and treatment which may be both physical and psychological. These adverse side-effects may affect quality of life substantially both in the short and the long run. Supportive care is the prevention and management of these adverse effects from diagnosis through anticancer treatment to post-treatment and palliative care in both patients and their relatives. Information technology has the potential to improve the efficiency of supportive care (ehealth). 1. The research line Patient and Proxy Reported Outcome comprises methodological and implementation aspects of patient and proxy reported outcomes (PRO’s) and the use of PRO’s to assess the impact of the disease and treatment and their short- and long term adverse side-effects on quality of life. This research line also addresses the prognostic value of quality of life for overall survival in relation to a broad perspective of possible confounders or mediators such as sociodemography, general health status (comorbidity), lifestyle, coping style, comorbid depression and anxiety, biomarkers, and tumour and treatment related aspects. PRO’s refer to questionnaires completed by patients and/or their proxies or interviewer-administered questionnaires. Questionnaires may be generic or condition-specific: developed specifically to assess outcome of patients with a specific condition like cancer. International collaboration within the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) is ongoing regarding further development of patient reported outcome including computerized adaptive testing (CAT). In our hospital, a touch screen computer system (OncoQuest) was developed including the general EORTC-QLQ-C30 and the various EORTC tumour specific modules, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and appears to be feasible for scientific and clinical documentation of quality of life. A similar system is being developed for childhood cancer patients and (adult) survivors including quality of life questionnaires as recommended by the Dutch DCOG-LATER Guidelines (Dutch Childhood Oncology Group-Late Effects following childhood cancer). OncoQuest will be adapted for patients treated for retinoblastoma and their proxies (RetinoQuest) and for patients with multiple sclerosis (MSQuest). 33 8. The research programs of CCA/V-ICI 2. The research line Allied Health Services and Lifestyle focuses on improving symptoms and function such as physical condition, pain, nausea, constipation, sexual functioning and fertility, speech and swallowing, oral function, cognitive function, and return to work, and also on lifestyle issues as smoking, alcohol use, and nutrition and weight. Some of these symptoms and functions also apply for children but in the pediatric population focus is also directed at improving neuro-cognitive and social-emotional development, school performance, return-to school, family functioning, both shortly and long after treatment has been completed. Medical and technical innovations such as microvascular reconstruction surgery, organ preservation strategies as chemoradiation and new radiation delivery techniques as IMRT, as well as new rehabilitation strategies and allied health services may lead to improved outcome but evidence is scarce. Currently, several cost-effectiveness studies are ongoing. Also, research is focusing on improving disease management by implementing structured monitoring of quality of life as a tool for supportive care navigators to set up individualized care plans. 3. The research line Psycho-Oncology encompasses the psychological aspects for both patients and their proxies of living with oncological and immune-mediated diseases. Patients often have to deal with side-effects of initial treatment, and the considerable threat to self-image, confidence, and identity may be difficult to cope with and can be a cause of psychosocial problems also for patient-proxies. Specific stressors as fear of death, interruption of life plans, and changes in quality of life often lead to comorbid anxiety and depression. This may occur during or shortly after treatment but also years after completion in therapy in the so-called long-term survivors, particularly in those who experience long-term adverse sided effects. Current research is focussing on efficacy of psychosocial care. There is close cooperation with the departments of Medical Psychology, Clinical Psychology, and Psychiatry. Within the scope of a stepped care approach, a tool is under development regarding several self-help programmes targeting insomnia, fatigue, anxiety, and depression in cancer patients. Randomised trials have started investigating cost-effectiveness of (on-line) self-help programs and face to face interventions, and stepped care strategies to improve disease management and patient empowerment. 4. The research line Palliative Care includes projects on palliative care and end of life studies. Approximately half of all adult cancer patients are treated without curative intent. Incurable ill patients often experience feelings of sadness, depression, hopelessness and spiritual distress, such as an evaluation of one’s past and problems with finding a new meaning in life. It is estimated that in 30%-50% of patients in the palliative phase, comorbid symptoms of depression are present. In the daily practice of psychosocial care there is an urgent need for evidence-based psychosocial intervention methods enhancing the quality of life and dying and relieving the emotional distress in patients. A randomised controlled trial is ongoing investigating the effectiveness of narrative therapy (a structured life review protocol) on decreasing depressive symptoms and enhancing quality of life of patients in the palliative phase of the disease. The research projects of CCA/V-ICI are tuned into the VUmc Expertise Center for Palliative Care. Perspectives In the Netherlands, government policy statements and the recent guidelines “Cancer Rehabilitation” and “Screening for the need for psychosocial care” reflect broad scientific and social support for a structured, integrated approach to supportive care. Supportive care providers may improve the operational and organizational means to deliver care in a structured, comprehensive, and cost-effective manner. Care can be organized according to stepped care principles in which several evidence-based interventions are offered in a structured way while a care navigator carefully monitors the recovery of the patients. IT applications based on persuasive or motivational designs can be used as helpful tools and have the potential to improve the efficiency of care. At present, interventions are often practice-based and scientific evidence is lacking regarding cost-effectiveness. In the next five years, various specific patient-tailored interventions and care strategies will be developed in a range of oncological and immunological diseases and cost-effectiveness studies will be carried out. Besides improving and innovating care programmes, more 34 8. The research programs of CCA/V-ICI insight will be obtained about quality of life by conducting large-scale prospective cohort studies. These ambitions require funding of specific issues as IT analists and consultancy, data storage and management, and care navigators to implement innovative supportive care solutions into clinical practice. Investing in the research lines of CCA / V-ICI programme 5 “Quality of life” has the potential to utilise market opportunities and to make concepts, knowledge, and supportive care innovations available to society. Research aims for the coming 5 years The common research aims of the four research lines in programme 5 are to generate improved knowledge about quality of life of childhood and adult patients with oncological and immune-mediated diseases and their families and to conduct high quality innovative translational research into developments and readily available new supportive care strategies. Highlights of our priorities in the coming 5 years are as follows: 1. Further implementation and evaluation of IT applications for structured assessment of quality of life for clinical and research purposes. 2. Development and cost-effectiveness of a web-based knowledge and decision support system to improve disease management. 3. Development and cost-effectiveness of innovative care programmes and e-health to improve quality of life. 4. Collaboration in clinical trials regarding quality of life outcomes. 5. Large-scale prospective cohort studies to generate improved knowledge about quality of life of patients. Collaboration In VUmc The existing expertise of the VUmc Cancer Center Amsterdam CCA/V-ICI Research Institute, the VU University Institute for Health and Care Research (EMGO+), the mental health institute GGZ InGeest, and the VUmc Expertise Center for Palliative Care will form a solid basis to facilitate the aims of programme 5. Quality of life researchers in program 5 are working in close contact with medical staff and allied health services to enable rapid implementation of research results into clinical practice and with biomedical researchers from programmes 1-4 in order to allow large-scaled cohort studies. Also, the large-scale patient cohort studies will be tuned into running longitudinal cohort studies at EMGO+. Seminars will be organised at least twice a year in which senior scientists within the field of quality of life will be challenged to discuss their work. Furthermore, we aim at 6-12 meetings per year in which PhD students actively participate in discussions under supervision of at least one senior researcher. Information about the research of all the departments cooperating in program 5 has been collected and this will be made public on the V-ICI website to stimulate cooperation among the researchers working at the different departments. Outside VUmc Researchers in program 5 collaborate with researchers in other university and oncological expertise centers in and outside the Netherlands. There are also collaborations with the Integral Cancer Center Amsterdam, the Ingeborg Douwes Center for psychosocial care in Amsterdam, Trimbos Institute on Mental Health, Stivoro, NDDO Institute on Prevention and Early Diagnostics (NIPED), and the Alpe d’HuZes Foundation. Also, members of the various patient societies are involved in our research projects. This will be further exploited in the coming years. Key publications 1.

Training and education Training and education Performing high quality research and patient care is an important goal of CCA/V-ICI. To this end, it is essential to train and to pass on knowledge to students, (young) researchers, technicians as well as to clinicians and care professionals. This educational path includes lectures, workshops, tutorials, practical training and clinical demonstrations. To ensure highly qualified professionals in the future, it is essential to provide a well defined educational program starting already at medical and biomedical undergraduate students. CCA/V-ICI is involved in a high number of theoretical and practical courses during the bachelor as well as master phase. Furthermore, a high number of training positions are available at our laboratories. For medical students CCA/V-ICI organizes both an Oncology and an Immunology graduation profile. Furthermore, for the top medical students CCA/V-ICI is providing a Honours Program in Oncology and Immunology. In the General Master Biomedical Sciences CCA/V-ICI organizes the differentiation Immunology. For biomedical students a specific TOP-Master Oncology is available, which is aimed at the training of students for a research function in an oncological research institute. PhD students attend various theoretical and practical courses, most of them organized by the graduate schools in which CCA/V-ICI participate, such as the Oncology Graduate School Amsterdam (Oncologie onderzoeksschool Amsterdam -OOA) and Amsterdam Leiden Institute for Immunology (ALIFI). Monthly CCA/V-ICI lectures are organized in which the program/project leaders of the 5 research programs of CCA/V-ICI are actively involved. These lectures are aimed at achieving more integration of the research performed in the 5 different research programs and for education purposes for researchers in CCA/V-ICI. Postgraduate Education for (care) professionals is organized by the individual departments involved in CCA/V-ICI. In the future these and new activities will be organized together within CCA/V-ICI. 1. Training and education To ensure highly qualified clinicians and researchers within CCA/V-ICI, it is essential to train and pass on knowledge in a long-life learning program. Therefore, training and education is a major focus of CCA/V-ICI. Aim is to stimulate and facilitate education in the field of oncology and immunology at various levels, starting already with undergraduate (bio)medical students, through Master-students, PhD-students, postgraduate (specialist) training and beyond to education of (care) professionals. This educational path includes lectures, workshops, tutorials, practical training and clinical demonstrations. Committee for Education & Training This committee supervises and advices about all training and education activities within CCA/V-ICI. The graduate training is organized within the Oncology Graduate School Amsterdam (OOA) and the Leiden Amsterdam Institute for Immunology (ALIFI). Committee for Education & Training: - Prof. dr. C.R Leemans (chair) - Prof. dr. R.H.J. Beelen - Prof. dr. G.A. Meijer - Dr. M.M. van Duist - Dr. E.M. Ruhé-Hoogervorst (secretary) Perspective At present, CCA/V-ICI is already highly involved in Training and Education at various levels, including: - Compulsory semester courses during Bachelor and Master phase of (bio)medicine study. - 6 week optional course ‘Immunology and infection’ and ‘Oncology’ during Bachelor phase of Medicine study - Scientific traineeship during Master phase of (bio)medicine study - TopMaster Oncology Programme for biomedicine students (about 30/year) 47 10. Training and education - Differentiation Immunology in the Master Programme Biomedical Sciences (about 30/year) - Honoursprogramme - Oncology graduate school Amsterdam - Amsterdam-Leiden institute for Immunology - Development of a post-graduate centre - Organization Keynote lectures, workshops and Symposia To guarantee high quality training programs, in which numerous CCA/V-ICI members are involved, the main perspective of our educational program is to survey and coordinate these, and initiate new training activities (within the scope of development of a graduate school). Collaboration CCA/V-ICI stimulates international collaborations and exchanges with top-leading scientist all over the world. For the PhD students in the oncology field CCA/V-ICI participates in the Oncology Graduate School Amsterdam (OOA). OOA is a joint graduate school of the Netherlands Cancer Institute (Nederlands Kanker Instituut - NKI) and the medical faculties VUmc and AM) of the VU and the UvA, respectively. These organizations strive for excellence in research and education in oncology, the realization of which is promoted by their participation in OOA. The mission of the OOA is to offer education in oncology research in the widest sense at an excellent level, and ensure proper supervision to graduate students in the Amsterdam region. OOA’s graduate students are scientist-in-training who receive additional theoretical and practical education on various subjects related to cancer research. In addition, collaboration is stimulated between the research groups of the 3 institutes as well as (inter)nationally. In this way, the PhD students have the opportunity to conduct high level research and attend courses that are organized by a faculty of outstanding researchers with evident scientific output in international literature and excellent track records. For the education of PhD students specifically in the immunology field, there is a collaboration with the University of Leiden, Sanquin Amsterdam and the Amsterdam Medical Center. AmsterdamLeiden Institute for Immunology (ALIFI) provides special courses for PhD students. A specific program for PhD students has been set up providing a training programme according to the criteria of the “Stichting voor opleiding tot Medisch-Biologisch Wetenschappelijk Onderzoeker” (SMBWO). For graduate and postgraduate training cooperation with the VUmc Education Institute (Instituut voor Onderwijs en Opleiding) exists. In addition, regular keynote lectures, symposia and workshops with renowned international speakers are organized. 2. Graduate profile for medical students Medical students graduate in one of the ten elective profiles/ specialization programmes. This includes a theoretical course of 6 weeks (3rd bachelor year) and a research internship of minimal 18 weeks (during the master phase). CCA/V-ICI coordinates the profiles ‘Oncology’ and ‘Immunology and Infection’. About 20% of students chose for one of those profiles. Oncology course In 2010 a 6-week course on Oncology was given, 53 students participated: 50 medical students and 3 Master Oncology students. The course consisted of lectures, literature discussions, practical work and laboratory/clinical visits. These weeks were organized around four specific themes: 1. hematological malignancies, 2. colorectal cancer, 3. head and neck cancer, 4. breast cancer and 5. lung cancer. During the course students worked in small groups on a specific research question, guided by a senior researcher. A research proposal was written which was presented and discussed at the final day of the course. Immunology course In 2010 a six-week course on Immunology and infection was given in which 20 medical students participated. The course consisted of lectures, practical work and laboratory and clinical visits. The weeks were organized around three specific themes: 1. rheumatoid diseases, 2. tuberculosis and 3. celiac diseases and inflammatory bowel diseases. During the course students worked in small groups 48 10. Training and education on a scientific review, guided by a senior researcher. This review was presented and discussed at the final day of the course. Honours Programme The Honours Programme (HP) has started in 2000 (called Masterclass). This program is focused on the top 10% medical students. These students start in their 2nd bachelor year, with a research training program. The selected students first follow introduction courses in 4 of the 10 different research profiles. CCA/V-ICI coordinates the profiles ‘Oncology’ and ‘Immunology and Infection’. Afterwards they choose their specialization profile and write a research proposal on that subject. This research project is carried out for 1-2 years next to their regular medicine study. The goal is to write a scientific paper as first author at the end of this training programme. In 2010, 4 of the 13 selected students started their HP research program at CCA/V-ICI. In addition, 6 students were already enrolled and 5 students finished their HP research program in 2010. 3. Masters for biomedical students Master Oncology The Master’s Programme in Oncology (a VU topmaster’s programme) aims to train students with a bachelor degree in Biomedical Sciences or other relevant Life Sciences in the field of cancer research and therapy. Approximately 30 students with different background start each year. The program consists of compulsory and optional courses, two practical training periods and a literature surveys. Courses (co)-organized by CCA/V-ICI researchers in 2010 were: “Oncogenesis”, “Tumour biology and clinical behaviour”, “Immunity” and “Innovative tumour therapy”. Master Oncology students followed in addition, specific optional courses organized by CCA/V-ICI or OOA such as: “In the footsteps of Antoni van Leeuwenhoek”, “Epigenetics”, “Radiation Oncology”, “Gene Regulation Networks”, “Anatomy of the mouse” and the “Oncology” course organized by CCA/V-ICI for 3rd year medical students. After completion of the master’s programme, most graduates in oncology continue their careers as PhD student (75%); either at our research institute or other national or international research institutions. 16% of the graduates continued with a medical training and 9% went for various other job positions (e.g. research technician, Clinical Research Associate). Master differentiation Immunology Since 2003, biomedical students can follow a general Master offered by the Faculty of Earth and Life Sciences (FALW). In this master a differentiation Immunology is offered, coordinated by Prof. Y. van Kooyk, PhD. About 30-40 students enter each year. De course ‘Advanced Molecular Immunology and Cell Biology’ organized by dr. M. van Egmond is obligatory for all students. Furthermore, optional courses are organized, like “Clinical Immunology” (prof. dr. Y. van Kooyk), “Molecular Infection Biology” (W. Bitter) and “Glycoimmunology” (I.M. van Die). 4. PhD student program CCA/V-ICI is involved in the graduate schools Oncology Graduate School Amsterdam (OOA) and Amsterdam Leiden Institute for Immunology (ALIFI). PhD students can follow various theoretical and practical courses in addition to their research training such as general courses on biostatistics and epidemiology, on laboratory animal technology, writing and presenting in scientific English which are organized by the VUmc. In addition, several specialized courses on oncology or Immunology were organized in 2010 by the graduate schools. PhD students are encouraged to participate in laboratory meetings to actively discuss their findings and those of others, which are organized at their own department but also at other departments in the same institute or at the collaborating institutes: the Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI), Academic Medical Center (AMC) and Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC). In this way PhD students are actively prepared to present their results to a critical audience and are able to present their data at (inter)national meetings. International collaborations and active participation of young researchers is strongly encouraged. To this end, PhD students are able to visit international meetings and are urged to actively participate. Furthermore, several of our PhD students perform part of their research project in the research institute of a collaborating group abroad. 49 10. Training and education CCA/V-ICI organizes monthly CCA/V-ICI evening lectures in which experienced researchers and PhD students present their ongoing research, this allows the PhD students to meet other researchers working at different departments and stimulates cooperation. Oncology Graduate School Amsterdam (OOA) PhD students in CCA/V-ICI with an oncology profile are trained within the framework of the OOA, a joint venture of the VUmc (CCA/V-ICI), NKI and AMC. The OOA strives for excellence in their research and teaching in basic and clinical oncology and provides every year a high standard training program. PhD students follow two OOA courses a year and participate twice in the annual graduate student retreat. In 2010, 7 courses and 2 Meet-the-Expert session were organized. - Techniques in Cancer Genomics - The Microscopic, Macroscopic and Pathologic Anatomy of the Mouse - Radiation Oncologie - Gene Regulation Networks - Epigenetics and non-coding RNA - Basic medical statistics for clinical and experimental research - In the footsteps of Anomi van Leeuwenhoek Basic Microscopy - Novel cancer vaccine strategies: putting it into practice: B.A. Fox (meet-the expert session) - How to Write High Impact Papers and What to Do When One Gets Rejected?: J.C. Coyne (meet the expert) The yearly three-day OOA retreat at Texel allowed PhD students to meet other students working at the participating institutes or at different divisions within the same institute both at scientific and social level. See for more information about OOA: www.ooa-graduateschool.org Amsterdam Leiden Institute for Immunology (ALIFI) ALIFI is a joint venture of the VUMC (CCA/V-ICI), AMC, NKI, Sanquin, and LUMC. PhD students with an immunology profile are trained within this framework. The highly recommended advanced course in Immunology was held at the VUMC and Sanquin. The course aimed to further extend the knowledge on recent developments in immunology and to contribute to insight in scientific questions and approaches in immunological research. PhD students could participate in meet-the-expert sessions, and on several courses and meetings, organized mostly by the Dutch Society for Immunology (NVVI). In the Immunology Seminar Series, organised by the MCBI department, (inter)national researchers are regularly invited to present their exiting findings, PhD students are encouraged to actively participate. 5. CCA/V-ICI evening lectures The CCA/V-ICI evening lectures were organized by the CCA/V-ICI evening lecture committee. These evenings are meant to provide information about the ongoing projects and future perspectives in the five CCA/V-ICI programs and moreover to increase cooperation between the different research programs and departments. The speakers consisted of a mix of experienced researchers and PhD students and both laboratory oriented researchers and clinicians.

The CWO advises the MB specifically about the quality and the feasibility of all research proposals that need permission of the ethical committees for patient related or animal related research before they can be realized. Research proposals made on behalf of (inter)nationally recognized joint ventures (EORTC, HOVON, SIOP, SKION) and multi-center studies in which the VUMC is not the main judging committee, are judged only marginally on local feasibility. The CWO also advises on other research proposals for which judgment by the CWO is desired. The CWO gives asked and unasked advice to the MB about the quality of research within CCA/V-ICI. The CWO section for patient related protocols meets twice a month, the CWO section for animal related protocols meets once a month. The VUMC Management Regulations stipulate that the CCA/V-ICI CWO section for patients related protocols is composed of 5 to 9 members. In view of the institute’s size and in order to have sufficient expertise in the different research fields, the CWO has been extended to a maximum of 15 members.
