Anting pact in fight against cancer

SHANGHAI Cell Therapy Group and Stanford Medicine’s Radiation Oncology Center have signed a strategic agreement to work together on oncological research and technology development.

The two are the leading oncology centers in Shanghai and the United States.

Shanghai Cell Therapy Group, a conglomerate located in Jiading, focuses on the development of cell therapy, cell storage, gene testing and other treatments.

Stanford Medicine’s Radiation Oncology Center is based in Stanford, California.

The cooperation agreement originated from previous exchanges between the two institutions, during which both sides agreed that it is possible to combine radiation therapy and immune therapy to cure cancers.

According to the agreement, they plan to build an international radiation oncology and immune therapy research center, as well as a world-leading medical treatment center chain offering a combination of radiation therapy and immune therapy.

Closer cooperation

The two parties will also hold academic conferences and training programs regularly, and will work together on scientific research for mutual benefit.

The Shanghai Cell Therapy Group is China’s first conglomerate focusing on a complete immune cell industrial chain. The company has multiple self-developed patents and technologies.

The group has also launched a medical program, aimed at giving effective and affordable treatment to 60 percent of Chinese cancer patients in the next decade.

The center will lead Jiading’s high-end medical industry — expected to reach 12 billion yuan (US$1.85 billion) by the end of 2017.

The Radiation Oncology Center at Stanford Medicine is a world-renowned research center that aims at being at the cutting edge of research and technology.
