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-

Bone Marrow Aspiration and Biopsy

Computed Tomography (CT) Scan

Ultrasound

Upper Endoscopy

Digital Rectal Exam (DRE)

EKG and Echocardiogram

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.

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 overdiagnosis, the propensity of screening tests to analyze disease that may not really affect the patient's lifespan.

Cancer Index

Cancer Terminologies:

What is Cancer?

Cancer is an Abnormal/diseased condition where the cells of an individual continue to grow without any control. These cells are referred to as Cancerous cells, proliferate at a higher rate and tend to separate and move out to other Organs. All the cells which emerge from these are carcinogenic in nature and can cause Cancer on other organs.

Metastasis: In general terms, Metastasis is the spread of Pathogenic agent from it’s site of origin to other sites. When a tumor starts to grow, the abnormal proliferation of these cells causes the cancerous cells to disrupt from it’s original site and move onto different Organs in body spreading the cancer. This is often termed as Metastasis.

Link between Immunotherapy and Serious Eye Condition: View of an Ophthalmologist

New immunotherapy medicines offer an amazing possibility for survival for patients with cutting edge melanoma and difficult to-treat growths of the bladder, kidney and lung.

Be that as it may, the medicines, intended to release the safe framework to assault tumor, can likewise goad a strike on sound organs, including the eye.

The instances of three late patients, distributed by University of Michigan Kellogg Eye Center in JAMA Ophthalmology, feature the issue.

Patients getting invulnerable checkpoint inhibitors created uveal emissions and eye aggravation that influenced their vision.

Despite the fact that it is uncommon, information of this hazard is imperative both for the ophthalmologists who treat it and for the oncologists recommending the counter growth treatment, say Michigan Medicine scientists.

With certain inhibitor tranquilizes, the Anti PD-1 (modified cell passing protein-1) and Anti PD-L1 (customized cell demise ligand-1) monoclonal immunizer resistant checkpoint inhibitors obstruct the communication between PD-1 receptors on T cells and their partner proteins, PD-L1.

This blockage permits the T cells in the invulnerable framework to carry out their activity: assault and execute the malignancy tumor cells.

"In our three patients who had been accepting these invulnerable checkpoint inhibitors, we saw huge uveal emissions. Also, there was foremost chamber irritation in two of our patients," says Hakan Demirci, M.D., the Richard N. what's more, Marilyn K. Witham Professor at the University of Michigan Kellogg Eye Center.

Every one of the three patients were accepting a hostile to PD-1 or against PD-L1 counter acting agent resistant checkpoint inhibitor tranquilize: atezolizumab, nivolumab or pembrolizumab.

On improvement of uveal emissions, Merina Thomas, M.D., a senior vitreoretinal surgery individual at Kellogg says: "It happened immediately, in the vicinity of one and three months after the patients had gotten no less than two imbuements of the resistant checkpoint inhibitors. That raised our doubt."

There's no treatment for the reactions of the invulnerable checkpoint inhibitors other than ceasing the medicine.

"We inquired as to whether the patient's insusceptible checkpoint inhibitor could be stopped," says Thomas.

"Be that as it may, not all patients can stop the treatment, since they have far reaching, hazardous disease," includes Demirci.

In two of the three patients, a month and a half to three months in the wake of ceasing the pharmaceutical, the uveal radiations had enhanced and the influenced eye looked typical.

The third patient with an uveal emanation proceeded with the immunotherapy for his melanoma, yet he kicked the bucket four months after the fact.

Safe reaction in the eye

In the mass of the ordinary eye, there are three layers with no liquid among them.

In any case, aggravation in the eye can make the layers swell and liquid to amass between the layers.

Uveal emissions can happen when patients have eye wounds or activities, get certain medications, or for obscure causes.

At the point when the uveal radiation includes the fovea, where visual perception is the most honed, it influences the vision.

In a past audit of 576 patients treated with nivolumab, 71 percent had symptoms, for example, weariness, tingling and issues with the gastrointestinal or endocrine frameworks.

Another examination noticed that uveitis and dry eye were the main visual toxicities in patients taking PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors, with the frequency of uveitis extending from 0.3 to 0.6 percent, and no specifics in regards to the example or administration of the uveitis.

Yet, the Kellogg specialists say it's critical for oncologists to allude patients with eye issues to an ophthalmologist, and it's similarly imperative for ophthalmologists who see patients with uveitis or uveal radiation to get some information about the meds they might get.

More than different organs in the body, the eye is known as an insusceptible favored site.

The ordinary resistant reaction to antigens is missing.

This implies corneal transplants are extremely fruitful on the grounds that the antigens from the unions only from time to time deliver irritation in the eye.

Abnormal amounts of PD-L1 in visual tissues may assume a part in the eye's invulnerable benefit.

Subsequently, barricade of the administrative T cells may have assumed a part in the poisonous quality in these patients.

"The insusceptible framework is precarious. It can help battle growth cells yet can likewise begin battling the body itself and cause reactions, for example, the uveal emissions in these patients," says Thomas.

As the utilization of immunotherapy turns out to be more far reaching, analysts intend to watch whether more patients are encountering comparative symptoms.

A promising new cancer drug has hit a major setback, raising questions about whether the field is moving too fast:

The surprising failure last month of a large clinical trial of a promising cancer immunotherapy drug from the biotech company Incyte has quickly reverberated across the pharmaceutical industry. Three companies have canceled, suspended, or downsized 12 other phase III trials of the compound, epacadostat, or two similar drugs, together slated to enroll more than 5000 patients with a variety of advanced cancers.

The companies say they aren't dropping the potential drugs, designed to unleash the immune system on cancer cells by blocking an enzyme called indoleamine (2,3)-dioxygenase (IDO). But the retrenching suggests that the frenzy to combine novel drugs with the wildly successful immunotherapies known as checkpoint inhibitors is outpacing the science. The IDO strategy, says neuroimmunologist Michael Platten of the University of Heidelberg in Germany, "has been moved to randomized clinical trials too fast, and now we realize [the enzyme is] still a black box."

A year ago, the future of IDO inhibitors looked bright. At the June 2017 meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, doctors reported that epacadostat, given with the approved checkpoint inhibitor Opdivo, shrank tumors in 25 of 40 of melanoma patients—roughly double the historical response rate of Opdivo alone. A second epacadostat trial of 63 additional melanoma patients was also impressive, and the drug seemed to work well in other tumor types.

May 25, 2018: Cancer research Breakthrough: Scientists reveal promising tumour-killing therapy

Cancer therapies which cut off blood supplies to dangerous tumours could be an effective new way of helping cancer patients, a study has found.

Cutting out the blood supply to tumours, in combination with existing chemotherapeutic drugs, could stop cancer tumours from growing. The ground-breaking research carried out on mice found tumour growth is better-reduced when the Beta3-integrin protein is targeted together with widely used cancer medication. The study, led by researchers at the University of East Anglia (UEA), was published today in the science journal EMBO Reports.

Lead researcher Dr Stephen Robinson, from UEA’s School of Biological Sciences, said: “Tumours must recruit their own blood supply to grow beyond a very small size and this process is called angiogenesis.

“Anti-angiogenic drugs stop tumours from growing their own blood vessels, and this in turn can slow the growth of the cancer, or shrink it.

“Targeting angiogenesis is therefore seen as crucial in many anti-cancer strategies.

“However many anti-angiogenetic therapies target proteins that help the functioning of a patient’s normal blood supply – and this can lead to nasty side effects including haemorrhage, strokes, high blood pressure, and fatigue.”

The researchers now hope to re-energise medical interest in microtubule-targeting agents (MTAs) – protein structures which help cells move and divide and are commonly used in chemotherapy. The scientists found the use of MTAs together with Beta3-integrin targeting is a more successful combo than Beta3-integrin targeting used alone.

Dr Robinson said: "This protein, Beta3-integrin, has been the focus of drug design over the last two decades because its expression is vastly increased in endothelial cells during blood vessel recruitment to tumours.

“We found that targeting the protein Beta3-integrin in combination with the use of microtubule-targeting agents (MTAs) could be a good way to stop tumours recruiting a blood supply to grow.

“This is really important because MTAs are already in clinic and commonly used as chemotherapies such as paclitaxel in cancer patients.

“Meanwhile Beta3-integrin inhibitors have been at the centre of cancer drug design for over 20 years and are well-tolerated in clinical trials.”

“We hope that this research could revitalise interest in this sort of therapy and lead to a re-purposing of MTAs as anti-angiogenic inhibitors, in combination with targeting Beta3 integrin.”

According to Cancer Research UK, more than 360,000 new cancer cases are diagnosed every year, based on 2013 to 2015 figures. In 2015 alone, around 183,000 men were diagnosed with concern and around 177,000 women were diagnosed. Breast, prostate, lung and bowel cancers are the most commonly diagnosed cancers. 2016 statistics reveal around 450 people die every day from cancer – more than quarter of all deaths in the country.

Preoperative Chemo Improves Outcomes in Node-Negative Gastric Cancer

In patients with gastric cancer who receive chemotherapy before gastrectomy, resulting in downstaged disease (cN+ ypN0), overall survival is similar to that of patients with natural node-negative disease (cN0 ypN0), according to a recent study. The report is the first to shine a light on this clinical question.

“In this retrospective cohort study, ypN status is a significant prognostic factor for overall survival [OS]. However, there is no survival difference between natural N0 and downstaged N0 patients,” said lead author Naruhiko Ikoma, MD, MS, a surgeon at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, in Houston. He presented the study results at the 2018 Society for Surgical Oncology Annual Cancer Symposium (abstract 4).

In the United States, the standard of care for localized gastric cancer is preoperative chemotherapy followed by gastrectomy, based on data from multiple clinical trials showing that preoperative chemotherapy increases survival (N Engl J Med 2008[1];358:36-46; J Clin Oncol 2011;29[13]:1715-1721). Today, more than half of patients receive preoperative chemotherapy before gastrectomy (Cancer 2018;124[5]:998-1007).

This treatment shift brought about a need for changes to staging, and in 2018, the yp stage was introduced for gastric cancer patients who undergo preoperative chemotherapy or chemoradiation therapy in the American Joint Committee on Cancer’s AJCC Cancer Staging Manual, Eighth Edition. The staging manual uses the TNM system for gastric cancer staging, based on the size of the tumor (T), spread to nearby lymph nodes (N) and metastases to distant sites (M). In a previous analysis of patients at MD Anderson Cancer Center, those with node-negative disease on final pathology had uniformly good outcomes among patients with a status of ypT0-3, with no differences in survival (Gastric Cancer2018;21[1]:74-83). Because of limited data, the TNM group designation of ypT0 patients has not yet been defined. In addition, whether downstaged N0 patients (cN+ ypN0 disease) and natural N0 patients (cN0ypN0 disease) have similar survival is unknown.

Dr. Ikoma and his colleagues conducted a retrospective cohort study using a prospectively maintained database of patients with gastric cancer treated at MD Anderson Cancer Center. They included 316 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma, including Siewert type III gastroesophageal junction tumors, who underwent R0 resection for nonmetastatic disease after preoperative chemotherapy or chemoradiation therapy. The majority of the study population was male (62%) and white (56%); 23% had gastroesophageal junction tumors, and 76% received chemoradiation.

The researchers categorized patients into three groups based on nodal status: natural N0 (cN0/ypN0; n=94), downstaged N0 (cN+/ypN0; n=93), or node-positive (ypN+; n=129). Compared with the natural N0 disease group, the downstaged N0 disease group was more likely to have advanced clinical T category cases (P<0.001), to receive preoperative radiation therapy (90% vs. 76%), and to undergo total gastrectomy (61% vs. 39%). “The ypT category was grossly similar between those two groups,” Dr. Ikoma said.

With a median follow-up of 3.1 years, the median OS was 7.7 years, and the five-year OS was 60.3%. “There is no survival difference between natural N0 and downstaged N0 group, even though the downstaged N0 group had a more advanced baseline clinical T category,” Dr. Ikoma said. “As expected, node-positive patients had worse overall survival.” In a sensitivity analysis stratified by ypT category (ypT0-2 or ypT3-4; P=0.936 and P=608, respectively) and in a Cox regression analysis that adjusted for various factors that could influence survival, outcomes were similar in the natural N0 and downstaged N0 groups.

“ypN0 status is an important hallmark representing a successful preoperative treatment, regardless of pretreatment clinical nodal status in gastric cancer patients,” Dr. Ikoma said. The results can be generalized to other institutions, he said.

During a question-and-answer session after the presentation, Daniel Coit, MD, FACS, a surgeon at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, in New York City, asked for further data. “Patients who get radiation therapy have an exaggerated local response that may impact both T and N downstaging, but may have a less impact on systemic disease, as opposed to those patients who are downstaged by chemotherapy alone,” he said. “Did you find any difference in outcome of those patients who achieved ypN0 status, depending on whether they got chemotherapy or chemoradiation?”

Dr. Ikoma responded that there was a distinction between those preoperative treatment groups. “Patients who had a complete response after chemoradiation had worse outcomes compared with if they received chemotherapy alone.”

This answer, Dr. Coit said, highlights the difference between assessing response at the primary and assessing the effect of a treatment on survival. “If you get a complete response after chemotherapy, that is likely to impact long-term survival. On the other hand, if you get a complete response after chemoradiation, where radiation exaggerates the complete response, you don’t see quite the same advantage. It is a subtle, but very important difference,” Dr. Coit said. “A lot of people advocate for chemoradiation therapy by saying there is a much higher local response rate and complete resection rate. That may be true, but it may be irrelevant to survival. People die of systemic disease, and that is what the treatment should be aimed at.” - Kate O’Rourke
