Overview of Predictive Oncology & Intervention Strategies

Program Objectives

• deliver a multidisciplinary program on predictive and preventive oncology
• elucidate the fundamental biomolecular basis of oncogenesis and indicators of cancer development for prevention and intervention strategies
• foster cooperation among universities, research institutes, and small and large industrial enterprises engaged in the transfer of biotechnology and biomedicine

Program Scope

The plenary program and symposia are devoted to:

• environmental and dietary influences
• genotoxic exposures
• immune disorders and therapy
• metabolic changes
• multistep carcinogenesis
• novel molecular therapies
• predictive and prognostic markers
• risk assessment
• stem cell biology and transplantation

Discussions concentrate on:

• cancer genomics and proteomics
• chemoprevention
• genomic instability
• molecular basis of oncogenesis
• molecular markers of adjacent and distant cancer
• pathology of occult precursor and early lesions
• preneoplastic lesions
• public health measures

Presentations

• 48 plenary overview lectures
• 24 special symposia focused on translational research-based oncology
• symposia of proferred papers

All presentations include a poster display.

Poster Awards

Posters will be judged daily and the best communications will be honored.

Travel Grants

Graduate or medical students, fellows, and physicians-in-training may compete for a limited number of travel grants intended to defray expenses.
