The impact of the retinoids in clinical practice has primarily been
in dermatology. When Dr Werner Bollag began his basic research and
screening programme in the early 1960's, the expectation was that
the retinoids would have a major impact on oncology. However, the
laboratory and clinical experiences of Bollag and his colleagues in
Switzerland, Stuttgen and Orfanos in Germany, led to publications
on both etretinates (Tigason) and isotretinoin (Roaccutane) in the
years between 1972 and 1976 in the field of dermatology. In fact
the first symposium on retinoid research held in Berlin in 1981 was
almost entirely dermatological. A year later a retinoid workshop in
Iowa was designed to provide a forum for dermatolog ists from the
USA involved in specific protocols investigating oral retinoids. In
the UK, research into the retinoids began rather later than in
Continental Europe or in the USA, although Tigason was first
marketed here. It was felt in late 1982 that as many dermatologists
had relatively little experience with these compounds it would be
appropriate to hold an International Symposium on retinoid therapy
in the UK. Thus on 16-18 May 1983 in London, 37 speakers from 11
countries addressed an audience of 300, aminly UK, dermatologists.
The scientific organizing committee consisted of but two persons Dr
William Cunliffe of Leeds General Infirmary, representing the
European Society of Dermatolo gical Research, and myself from Roche
Clinical Research. The Symposium was held under the auspices of the
ESDR and of Roche Products Limited."
