Cell Metastasis: Mechanisms
This session examines
the complex biological mechanisms driving cancer
metastasis, from tumour cell invasion to colonisation of distant organs.
Discussions will focus on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT),
angiogenesis, and interactions within the tumour
microenvironment that facilitate metastasis.
Experts will present
new insights into circulating tumour cells (CTCs) and exosome-mediated signalling. Innovative
therapeutic targets aimed at halting metastasis progression will also be
explored. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of why metastasis remains
the leading cause of cancer mortality.
