Synopsis

The first in the series of Biology and Treatment of Metastatic Cancers Fusion conferences. 

Key Sessions

  • The processes involved in tumor dissemination
  • The role of circulating tumor cells and cancer stem cells
  • The tumor microenvironment
  • Metastatic dormancy
  • Tumor cell plasticity
  • Chemoresistance
  • Novel targeted therapies for the treatment of established metastases

As many as 90% of all cancer deaths can be attributed to metastatic disease.   Cells from the primary tumor, after travel to regional or distant sites, cause failure of essential organs including the lungs, liver, brain and bone marrow.  Significant advances in the field make this an exciting time for the study of metastasis.  Genetic signatures in primary tumors as well as circulating tumor cells and oligonucleotide or protein biomarkers hold the promise of predicting cancer outcomes and allowing selection of optimal drug candidates.  The isolation of circulating tumor cells has further improved our ability to analyze the tumor genotype.  The ability to metastasize is influenced by the invasive potential of cells in the primary tumor and particularly by self-renewing tumor cells that have properties of cancer stem cells.  New results highlight the plasticity of tumor cells.  Genetic and epigenetic changes take place over time both in the primary site and in the secondary metastatic sites.  Tumor cells can take on the properties of mesenchymal cells or epithelial cells and transition back and forth between these two states.  Furthermore, cells that occupy metastatic sites and primary sites may be so different that they respond to completely different drugs.  An important current goal is the identification of agents that selectively target the cells in established tumor metastases.

Target Audience

Scientists working in either academic centers or in a pharmaceutical/drug development laboratories will benefit from this meeting.

This captivating city is the most popular destination in all of Morocco. With its lively people, colourful marketplaces, impressive monuments, and religious sites, Marrakech is a feast for the eyes and the senses. Begin your tour with a photo opportunity at the spectacular Koutoubia Minaret, the largest mosque in Marrakech. Followed by a visit to the grounds of Bahia Place built between 1894 and 1900 with its lavish decoration and learn the fascinating history contained within the palace walls.

Oral Presenters

A Fusion Conference offers all participants the opportunity to present their current research and findings in a number of different ways. Once registered for the conference you will be able to submit your abstract online and monitor the status through your Fusion account. Please use the abstract template provided and ensure your abstract is no longer than one page in length. Any abstracts exceeding this size may be cut short during print.

Oral Presentations

We have a number of oral opportunities available at this meeting. To be considered for an oral presentation, please submit your abstract within the Talk Deadline. Please check the conference programme carefully to note your presentation time (inclusive of Q&A) should you be accepted for an oral presentation.

We recommend you check our website regularly as the conference approaches as regular programme updates will be released under the ‘Programme’ tab on the conference page.

If you have prepared some slides to compliment your presentation please ensure you bring these with you on a USB or portable file saving device.

Those presenting on the first day, please email your slides to us so we can have everything prepared and ready for the first session. Please email your slides to:powerpoint@fusion-conferences.com

Flash Presentations

The Flash Session lasts up to 45minutes. This time is evenly divided between all the Flash Presentations that are accepted so your allocated time can range from 3-5 minutes, depending on popularity. The flash session is an extension of the Poster Session and is designed to offer a select few the opportunity to present orally their poster in a more formal, group setting.
To be considered for a flash presentation, please submit your abstract within the Talk Deadline. Abstracts submitted after the Talk Deadline may not be accepted.

Please note, the exact length of your presentation will be noted on the conference programme under the ‘Flash Session’.

At the Conference

On the day of your presentation please make yourself known to the AV team who will be available in the conference room. They will ensure they have everything they need, including your presentation slides or aides. If you have any animations or videos we do advise to run through the presentation with the AV tech just to make sure everything is compatible. We also advise that all speakers make themselves known to the AV tech in the conference room immediately before your session beings. The AV tech will apply your microphone and provide a laser pointer should you have a complimenting presentation. Please note, speakers are not permitted to use their individual laptops, our AV tech will have a master laptop for you to run your presentation from. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to approach our AV tech or a member of the Fusion team. We are here to help!
