Despite exciting recent advances there is still much to discover about the effects of cancers and cancer treatments on bone and mineral homeostasis. The Conference will bring together leading clinicians and researchers with expertise in bone metastases and bone and cancer cell biology, and will include presentations by internationally known experts, and oral and poster presentations by authors selected from submitted abstracts.
Topics are expected to include: • Osteoporosis in cancer survivors • Stem cell niche and bone metastases • Breast cancer • Prostate cancer • Myeloma • Bisphosphonates • Radiopharmaceuticals • Mechanisms of bone pain • Imaging • Radiation therapy • Novel therapies for bone disease • Bone markers • Bone biology • Cell signalling • Clinical trials • Animal models
Upon completion of the meeting programme, the participant will enhance their understanding of: • the importance of both the physical and cellular bone microenvironment and the hematopoietic stem cell niche in supporting the growth of metastatic cancer cells • the role of cancer stem cells and hematopoietic stem cells in the metastatic process • the current state of the field of genomics and proteomics as applied to bone metastasis • the efficacy of new therapeutic agents and imaging techniques for bone cancers and bone metastasis • the consequences of tumour cells on the skeleton
