Cancer Neuroscience Symposium

<<REGISTER NOW>>

Advances in life sciences are outpacing traditionally defined research disciplines. To meet this challenge, Advanced Biology has expanded the scope of the journal to not only include innovations in basic and applied life sciences, but now also encourages submissions at the intersection of traditionally defined disciplines, i.e., cross-disciplinary studies, where integrative and emerging fields of investigation are being formed.

The expanded scope of Advanced Biology is intended to be understood in its broadest sense as life sciences investigational research, perspectives and reviews across multiple traditional and emerging disciplines.

1. To explore the interface between cancer and the nervous system;
2. To discuss the mediators, mechanisms, and implications of neuro-cancer crosstalk in the central and peripheral nervous systems;
3. Understand neurotoxicities and nervous system health during cancer therapy; and
4. To introduce novel concepts in targeting the mediators, mechanisms, and implications of neuro-immune crosstalk in the central and peripheral nervous systems.

Building on the collaborative research and discussions among our speakers and workshop attendees spanning nearly a decade, the goal of this meeting aims to explore the interface between cancer biology and neuroscience, and their impact on tumor development, progression and patient outcomes. This meeting will cover emerging areas, such as neuro-immune interactions in plasticity within the tumor microenvironment, translational research from bench to bedside, and quality of life issues. This meeting will bring together leading experts from across the fields of neuroscience, cancer biology and immunology, as well as oncologists, surgeons, neurologists, integrative medicine and palliative care specialists, patients and patient advocates to facilitate discussion of exciting new concepts and developments in this emerging field. We welcome your participation in this event and witness this new field taking shape. The symposium features sessions devoted to fundamental and translational research as well as practical workshops and panel discussions.

Topics Include

• Neural Regulation of Cancer
• Glial Cell Regulation of Cancer
• Cancer Neuro-Immunology
• CNS and PNS Malignancies
• Cancer Therapy Sequelae Related to Neural Changes and Clinical Trials
• Quality of Life, Neural Health and Rehabilitation
• Advanced Modeling of Cancer Neurobiology

Presented by Advanced Biology and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, this virtual symposium is free to attend and welcoming researchers, practitioners, and students from around the world.
