Sessions and Tracks

Cancer is a class of diseases characterized by out-of-control cell growth. There are more than 100 distinct sorts of cancer and each is ordered by the kind of cell which is first influenced. Malignancy is thought to be one of the main sources of grimness and mortality around the world. More than 575,000 individuals bite the dust of tumor and more than 1.5 million individuals are determined to have disease every year in the US. A restorative expert who hones in the field of cancer and cancer related diseases is an oncologist.

1. Cancer Cell Biology

Cancerous tumors are threatening, which implies they can spread into, or attack adjacent tissues. What is more, as these tumors develop, some cancer cells can sever and go to distant places in the body through the blood or the lymph framework and shape new tumors a long way from the first tumor. Cancer cells emerge from the body's own particular tissues. Cancer Cell Biology incorporates the molecular, biochemical and cell-based ways to deal with better comprehend cancer pathogenesis.

2. Cancer Metastasis

Metastasis is the spread of a cancer or other infection from one organ or part of the body to another without being straightforwardly associated with it. At the point when cancer cells split far from a tumor, they can go to different territories of the body through the circulatory system or the lymph framework. The lungs, liver, brain and bones are the most well-known metastasis areas from solid tumors. Treatment and survival is resolved, by regardless of whether a cancer stays confined or spreads to different areas in the body.

3. Cancer Genetics

Cancer is a hereditary sickness and is brought about by specific changes to qualities that control the way our cells work, particularly how they develop and separate. These progressions incorporate transformations in the DNA that makes up our qualities. A few sorts of cancers keep running in specific families, yet most tumors are not unmistakably connected to the qualities we acquire from our folks. Quality changes that begin in a solitary cell throughout a man's life cause generally malignancies. A few people are hereditarily inclined to building up specific sorts of cancers. These individuals have a higher danger of building up the malady than those in the overall population. Hereditary testing is currently accessible for some inherited cancers. Genetic testing includes a straightforward blood test and might be utilized to get a more exact gauge of your growth hazard. Now and again, Genetic testing should be possible on put away tissue tests from deceased relatives.

4. Tumor & Cancer Immunology

Tumor immunology depicts the cooperation between cells of the invulnerable framework with tumor cells. Understanding these interactions is imperative for the improvement of new treatments for tumor treatment. In many people the resistant framework perceives and disposes of Tumor cells. Cancer immunology is a branch of immunology that reviews collaborations between the resistant framework and cancer cells (likewise called tumors or malignancies). It is a field of research that plans to find cancer immunotherapies to treat and retard movement of the disease. The immune response, including the recognition of cancer-specific antigens, forms the basis of targeted therapy, (such as vaccines and antibody therapies) and tumor marker-based diagnostic tests.

5. Cancer genomics & metabolomics

Cancer genomics is the study of the totality of DNA sequence and gene expression differences between tumor cells and normal host cells. It aims to understand the genetic basis of tumor cell proliferation and the evolution of the cancer genome under mutation and selection by the body environment, the immune system and therapeutic interventions. The metabolites within a cell or biological system are being used to analyze cancer metabolism on a system-wide scale, painting a broad picture of the altered pathways and their interactions with each other. Cancer metabolomics involves chemical analysis by a range of analytical platforms through targeted/untargeted approaches. The application of metabolomics towards cancer research has led to a renewed appreciation of metabolism in cancer development and progression.

6. Targeted Cancer Therapy

Targeted Cancer therapy is a newer type of cancer treatment that uses drugs or other substances to more precisely identify and attack cancer cells, usually while doing little damage to normal cells. Targeted therapy is a growing part of many cancer treatment regimens. Targeted therapy or molecularly targeted therapy is one of the major modalities of medical treatment (pharmacotherapy) for cancer. The Drugs work by targeting specific genes or proteins. These genes and proteins are found in cancer cells or in cells related to cancer growth, like blood vessel cells. As a form of molecular medicine, targeted therapy blocks the growth of cancer cells by interfering with specific targeted molecules needed for carcinogenesis and tumor growth, rather than by simply interfering with all rapidly dividing cells.

7. Stem Cell Therapy

Stem Cells and Tumors Cancer Cells also have the characteristic that is associated with normal stems cells. Stem Cell Therapy is used to prevent the disease. The most common stem cells therapy is bone marrow transplantation. Stems cells transplant is used to treat cancers like leukemia, multiple myeloma of lymphoma. Cord Blood Stem and Cancer cord blood contains hematopoietic (blood) stem cell. These cells make different types of cells like red blood cells, white blood cells, Hematopoietic stem cells, purified from bone marrow or blood, have long been used in stem cell treatments for leukemia, blood and bone marrow disorders when chemotherapy is used.

8. Cancer Biomarkers

A cancer biomarker is an element or procedure that indicates the presence of cancer in the body. A biomarker may be any molecule released by the presence of a tumor or a specific indication of the body to the presence of cancer. Cancer biomarkers are usually biological molecules found in blood, other body fluids, or tissues that are a sign of a normal or abnormal process, or of a condition or disease.

9. Cancer Case Reports

A case report signifies the detailed report of symptoms, signs, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of an individual patient of a particular disease. Cancer Case reports have been playing a pivotal role in medical education, providing a structure for case-based learning and implementation throughout the world.

10. Novel Approaches to Cancer Therapeutics

The Normal treatment modalities are associated with severe side effects and high toxicity which in turn lead to low quality of life. This review encompasses novel strategies for more effective chemotherapeutic delivery aiming to generate better prognosis. Currently, cancer treatment is a highly dynamic field and significant advances are being made in the development of novel cancer treatment strategies. In contrast to conventional cancer therapeutics, novel approaches such as ligand or receptor based targeting, intracellular drug targeting, gene delivery, cancer stem cell therapy, magnetic drug targeting and ultrasound-mediated drug delivery, have added new modalities for cancer treatment.

11. Precision Medicine & Cancer Therapy

Precision medicine also known as Personalized Medicine is a phrase that is often used to describe how genetic information about a persons disease is being used to diagnose or treat their disease. The deeper understanding of how cancer forms and grows has ushered in a new era of precision cancer care, where tailored treatments target abnormalities that may be found in each tumors DNA profile. This exciting innovation marks a shift, from traditional treatments designed for the average patient based on their success with a representative sample of people with similar cancers, towards more precise therapies.
