LIVE

Thursday, February 29, 2024, 8:00 AM - Friday, March 1, 2024, 2:30 PM, MD Anderson, Houston, TX


MD Anderson presents a two-day hybrid symposium featuring contributions from over 30 leading international experts. Be part of a groundbreaking scientific event that will integrate neuroscience, cancer biology and aging to spur a wave of innovation in cancer research and treatments. Building on the collaborative research and discussions among our speakers and 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 2nd Cancer Neuroscience Symposium will leverage advances in neuroscience through cross fertilization from key opinion leaders, as well as advances in immuno-oncology and aging. This meeting will cover emerging areas, such as neuro-immune interactions and 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, immunology, and the biology of aging, as well as oncologists, surgeons, neurologists, integrative medicine and palliative care specialists, patients and patient advocates to facilitate discussions of exciting new concepts and developments in this growing field.

1. Explore the interface between cancer and the nervous system with an eye toward aging;
2. 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. Introduce novel concepts in targeting the mediators, mechanisms, and implications of neuro-immune crosstalk in the central and peripheral nervous systems.
