Scientific Program

Scientific Sessions

Session 1: Cancer Biology

Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of the host cell. This behavior often results in the formation of a lump which is termed as Tumor.

Cancer Biology deals with the total behavior of the cancer cell in the host. This involves finding the cause of the abnormal behavior of cells, how these cancer cells progress and move to other organs, cell growth, metastasis, their effect on usual organ functioning, the role of the host immune system in controlling it etc…

To understand all these aspects one has to study these cells at the molecular level. Signaling between the cells holds the solution for all these. Though the recent research on these has revealed a great amount of knowledge base for many questions related to the cancer progress, diagnosis, cure and Management answers are found only by understanding the basic knowledge obtained after the study Biology of these Cancer Cells.

Session 2: Cancer Diagnosis

Cancer is considered to be the main reason for deaths across the globe. The cure for cancer is still a matter of research. However, there are few curing techniques available only if the person is diagnosed at the early growth stages. So cancer diagnosis becomes a very important part of an individual’s survival.

Since the cancer cells exhibit properties of a normal cell till it reaches malignant stages, it becomes difficult to diagnose. However few symptoms can act like the signals for the cancer growth. Once these symptoms are encountered one will have to undergo diagnosis techniques like Biopsy, Radiography etc… Through these methods practitioner will be able to predict the stage of the cancer and survivability of the patients.

Some of the tests conducted to diagnose the Cancer are-

Mammography
Colonoscopy
MUGA Scan
Barium Enema
Sigmoidoscopy
Tumor Marker Tests
Biopsy
Bone Marrow Aspiration and Biopsy

Session 5: Cancer Immunology

As stated earlier, cancer research is an interdisciplinary subject | Cancer Immunology is a branch of science which deals with the role of host immunity and its behavior to the growth of cancer.

The immune system helps us in fighting against the foreign invaders. However, cancer cells not being foreign cells to the host are very difficult to be identified by the host immunity as a threat. Only when the cancer cells start to release certain molecules which are specific to the cancer cells, host immune cells try to act against the cancer cells.

Cancer immunosurveillance is considered to be the only reliable host mechanism against the Tumor growth in the human body by inhibiting the carcinogenesis and also maintaining a regular cellular homeostasis.

Session 8: Biomarkers in Cancer Research

Biomarkers are the Biological subjects which are used to detect the presence of tumor in the early stages.

Biomarkers give a capable and dynamic way to deal with understanding the range of tumors with applications in observational and logical the study of disease transmission, randomized clinical trials, screening, analysis, and detection. Characterized as changes in the constituents of tissues or body liquids, these markers offer a method for homogeneous arrangement of a sickness and hazard factor, and they can expand one's fundamental data about the hidden pathogenesis of cancer.

The objectives in tumor explore incorporate discovering biomarkers that can be utilized for the early location of carcinogenesis, outline singular treatments, and to recognize fundamental procedures associated with the malady. Since such a significant number of heap forms are associated with the unhealthy states, the objective is like 'finding a needle in a pile'. In any case, the improvement of many - Omics advancements, for example, genomics and proteomics, has enabled us to screen countless cell pathways at the same time. This has empowered the distinguishing proof of biomarkers and flagging atoms related to cell development, cell passing, and cell digestion. These are additionally encouraging in checking the practical unsettling influence, sub-atomic and cell damage and reaction.

Session 9: Cancer Genomics and Epigenetics

This is a branch of genomics which deals with the genomic content of the host. How the genomes in the host affect the carcinogenesis and what will happen if simple changes occur in these, what can be done to prevent this from happening or to cure the same.

The entire DNA contained in your cells makes up your genome. In many cells, the genome is bundled into two arrangements of chromosomes: one set each from the parents. These chromosomes are made out of six billion individual DNA letters. In the English letter set, there are 26 letters: A through Z. In the letters in order of our qualities, there are four letters: A, C, G and T. Much the same as the letters in a book make words to recount a story, so do the letters in our genomes. Genomics is the investigation of the grouping of these letters in your DNA and how each series of letters passes data to enable every cell in your body to work legitimately.

In tumor cells, little changes in the hereditary letters can change what a genomic word or sentence implies. A changed letter can make the cell make a protein that doesn't enable the cell to fill in as it should. These proteins can influence cells to develop rapidly and cause damage to the neighboring cells. By concentrating on the cancer genome, researchers can find what letter changes are making a cell turn into a disease. The genome of a tumor cell can likewise be utilized to reveal to one sort of tumor from another. Sometimes, considering the genome in a disease can help distinguish a subtype of growth inside that compose, for example, HER2+ breast tumor. Understanding the malignancy genome may likewise enable a researcher to choose the best treatment for every patient.

Session 10: Drug Discovery & Development in Cancer Research

Drug discovery is a process where the cure for the disease is found. This is a multistep process which involves a great amount of investment in terms of time and finance.

Cancer is believed not to be cured any drugs. However, there are many instances where people have come out of this disease successfully, thanks to the researchers who have developed some efficient molecules which can suppress and kill the tumor cells.

As a first step, the cause of the disease is identified. Here it might be a molecule or an Organism. Once the cause is identified, a hypothesis for the target molecules are drawn and certain molecule groups are chosen to encounter the target molecule/Organism. In the modern method, these molecules are chosen by algorithms and often selected from the databases based upon their structures and composition. Later these are subjected to the target molecule in silico models. Many of the molecules lose the race here and few make it to the next level of testing where the selected models are subjected to animal models. Once these molecules are proven to be safe and efficient in the animal models, they are approved to test on the human. After rigor testing and monitoring, a suitable molecule with all ideal characteristics is approved by the governing body and released into the market.

Session 12: Epidemiology

The epidemiology of cancer is the investigation of the variables influencing growth, as an approach to construe conceivable patterns and causes. The investigation of growth the study of disease transmission utilizes epidemiological strategies to discover the reason for tumor and to recognize and create enhanced medicines.

This region of study must fight with issues of lead time inclination and length time predisposition. Lead time predisposition is the idea that early analysis may falsely expand the survival measurements of a tumor, without extremely enhancing the regular history of the illness. Length inclination is the idea that slower developing, more sluggish tumor will probably be analyzed by screening tests, however, changes in diagnosing more instances of lethargic malignancy may not convert into better patient results after the execution of screening programs. A related concern is over-diagnosis, the propensity of screening tests to analyze disease that may not really affect the patient's lifespan.
