MOLECULAR GENETICS OF CANCER
Bethesda Marriott, Bethesda, MD
Molecular-genetics is one of the most exciting and rapidly developing areas of science. It
provides an understanding of the underlying mechanisms of many human diseases
including Cancer. Researchers are now exploring the new techniques, afforded by genetic
advances, in complementing their arsenal of weapons in the war against cancer. Drug and
vaccine development has been the primary beneficiary of these advances in genetic
engineering technology. Genetic sequencing is playing an increasingly important role in
understanding the mechanisms and progression of cancer; it will aid the diagnosis of cancer
and suggest appropriate protocols of therapy. Approaches for the discovery of genes
associated with cancer are being juxtapositioned with approaches for developing effective
therapeutics based on the role of the gene. Molecular-Genetic profiling of patients is now a
determinant for stratification, staging and selection of therapies for clinical trials.
Molecular genetics will have an increasing impact on cancer biology and medicine in future
years. Plan now and join the distinguished faculty assembled at this timely conference for a
comprehensive briefing on the ever-developing field of the Molecular Genetics of Cancer.
