International workshop NO-Cancer 2018

International workshop NO-Cancer 2018 is organized by University of Eastern Piedmont / Universita del Piemonte Orientale (UPO) and will be held from Oct 28 - 30, 2018 at University Hospital Maggiore of Charity of Novara, Novara, Piedmont, Italy.

Workshop Description:
The workshop focuses on the biological mechanisms and pathways associated with cancer development and progression aiming at the design of innovative diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies

The focus of this meeting is understanding how cancer develops and progresses having in mind the final aims of designing more effective strategies to prevent cancer, more precise and non-invasive diagnostic methods and more efficacious therapy.

Emphasis will be on cancer cell biology (including cell metabolism, genetics and epigenetics mechanisms, interaction between cancer cells and stromal cells) and on the role and impact of microbiota and nutritional interventions to prevent and cure cancer.

Twelve internationally renowned speakers coming from Belgium, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Portugal and United States will present their recent research in a two-days scientific marathon.

To stimulate the active participation of Delegates and Young researches, seven short communications and twelve flash communications will be selected from the submitted abstracts.

Major topics :
• The role of stroma and of immune response in Cancer.
• Cancer Cell metabolism.
• Liquid biopsy and innovative technologies for cancer diagnosis and therapy.
• Oncogenes, oncosuppressors and Non Coding RNAs in Cancer development.
• Microbiota and cancer
• Focus on hemato-oncology, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, ovary cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, glioblastoma

Learning Objectives:
• Molecular biology (genetics and epigenetics) of cancer
• Metabolism (sugar, fat, aminoacids) of cancer cells
• Metabolic cross-talk between cancer cells and stromal cells
• Role of diet and of microbiota in cancer progression and response to therapy
• Novel strategies to early non-invasive detection of cancer
• Clinical trials

The conference represents a unique opportunity for the students and the scientists working in the Universities, Hospitals and Research centers to learn from renown experts the most updated knowledge in the cancer field.

We encourage you to join us to benefit from the Scientific lecturing while enjoying the friendly atmosphere.
