The Tumor Ecosystem: From Bench to Clinic and Back

This free-to-attend conference will cover advances in understanding the tumor ecosystem, how cancer forms, diagnosis, and treatment
About this Event

Organized by the MD Anderson Cancer Center, Nature, Nature Cancer, and Nature Reviews Cancer Engineering.

This free to attend conference explores the latest advancements in understanding the tumor ecosystem and how its diverse components influence cancer development, progression, diagnosis, and treatment.

Our focus areas include:

Dynamic interactions between tumor, stromal and immune cells and microorganisms in primary and metastatic tumor microenvironments
Interplay between tumors and host macroenvironment systems (immune, circulatory, nervous)
Impact of systemic and local metabolism
Applications of cutting-edge technologies like complex cancer models, omics approaches and computational methods
Integration of clinical research insights for therapy response and resistance

We will unite leading experts to share groundbreaking preclinical, translational and clinical advances across disciplines. Together, we'll examine how current tumor ecosystem knowledge is being translated from laboratory research to patient care and back to the bench for continued investigation. Join us in exploring these critical developments shaping the future of cancer research and treatment.
