Cancer Therapy

Cancer Therapy 2018

Theme: Exploring Therapeutics for Cancer Cure

Meetings International invites participants from all over the globe to attend the “International Conference on Cancer Therapy” during July 23rd and 24th, 2018 at Osaka, Japan, with the theme “Exploring Therapeutics for Cancer Cure”. The Cancer Therapy Conference shall include prompt keynote presentations, special sessions, workshops, symposiums, oral talks, poster presentations and exhibitions.

The Cancer Therapy Conference is going to offer an unmatched attendee experience and opportunities to enhance one's career. Join us in Japan to learn about the innovative therapeutic strategies that are evolving to minimize the lethality of cancer.

Why to Attend?

Cancer happens to be a leading worldwide problem, with ∼14 million recorded new cases every year. In the USA, for example, over 0.5 million people die from cancer every year, making cancer the 2nd cause of death. Important is the fact that the cancer prevalence has been increasing mostly due to the increasing lifespan of people.

This Cancer Therapy Conference is the best opportunity to reach the largest assemblage of participants from the community of experts dealing with cancer therapy.

Cancer Science Conference, Oncology Conference, Oncology Workshop, Breast Cancer Conference, Blood Cancer Conference, Lung Cancer Conference, Oncology Nursing

This conference shall conduct oral and poster presentations, strew information, conduct meetings with current and potential scientists, make a splash with new drug developments, and receive name recognition at this 2 days event. Renowned speakers from all over the globe, the most recent therapeutic and diagnostic techniques, developments, the novel technologies and therapeutic measures for cancer treatment and control are hallmarks of this conference.

Why Japan?

Japan, the “Land of the Rising Sun”, undoubtedly is the most advanced country presently; be it technologically, habitant-wise or progression-wise. It is an island nation with a population of about 128 million with 2.691 million in Osaka itself. The leading nation in scientific research, Japan has contributed immensely to every scientific field of study, cancer treatment being one of them. It has also received the most number of Nobel Prizes for science in Asia and is ranked number 8 in the world. With their excellent hand architecture, their paved roads are a traveler’s fantasy.

A designated city in the Kansai Region of Japan, Osaka is the 2^nd largest metropolitan of Japan with a population of 2.691 million. The cherry blossoms of Osaka and the Osaka Castle are attractions that one can never miss. August is the hottest month in Osaka with an average temperature of 29°C and January is the coldest at 6°C with the most daily sunshine hours at 6.7 in August. The wettest month is June with an average of 230mm of rain. Osaka's sprawling cityscape is described as "only surpassed by Tokyo as a showcase of the Japanese urban phenomenon."

Variations in Helicobacter pylori infection rates between generations presumptively have contributed to the generation connected variation within the declining trends. It's expected that almost all gastric cancers in Japan is also preventable by manner modification like salt reduction and exaggerated fruit and vegetable intake, in conjunction with dodging of smoking and countermeasures against H. pylori infection in order that the amount currently evident in Western developed countries are often reached.

Japan accounts for a number of famous centers for cancer research institutes like: The Cancer Institute Hospital of the Japanese Foundation of Cancer Research; Shizuoka Cancer Center; National Cancer Center Hospital; Japanese Foundation for Cancer Research; Osaka International Cancer Institute etc.

Dear All,

It gives me great pleasure to extend to you all a very warm welcome to Cancer Therapy 2018. We have entered a completely new phase in our efforts to cure cancer, as we now have at our therapeutic disposal novel ways to enlist the body’s own T cells in the fight against cancer. Our basic work on thymus immune function, T and B cell antigen recognition, T cell activation, and T cell costimulation, has led to the invention of checkpoint blockade and chimeric antigen receptor T cells. Immunology has certainly spawned immunotherapy which is claiming a seat in the therapeutic pantheon of oncology, next to and perhaps, or hopefully, eventually superseding surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Welcome everybody!

Session 1: Oncology Nursing

The goal of such therapy is not to cure but to improve quality of life for both the person and their family. Evidence as of 2016 supports improvement in quality of life. It focuses on providing people with relief from the symptoms, pain, physical stress, and mental stress of the terminal diagnosis in life limiting diseases like Cancer. Medications and treatments are found to have a palliative effect if they relieve symptoms without having a therapeutic effect on the underlying disease or cause. Given in addition to cancer treatment, when a patient reaches a point where cure is not warranted, palliative care becomes the sole focus of care. The respective session of the Cancer Therapy Conference will deal with issues like the difference between hospice care and palliative care, oncology nursing, pain management, psychosocial and emotional care on a spiritual level.

Session 2: Surgery

Surgical removal of cancerous cells from the body is one of the most widely used procedures of treating cancer. There are several types of surgeries which might be open or minimal invasive. Surgery is used for solid tumors unlike leukemia or any metastatic form of cancer. Cryosurgery, Lasers, Hyperthermia and Photodynamic Therapy are a few forms that do not require any cuts and scalpels, but forms like require cutting or debulking a tumor, sometimes with the removal of nearby lymph nodes are the minimally invasive ones. The respective session of the Cancer Therapy Conference shall deal with types of surgeries, their effects and risks on a patient suffering from cancer.

Session 4: Hormonal Therapy

This strategy is generally used along with other treatments if the hormones interfere with the cancer. Also known as Endocrine therapy, its administration methods can be oral vaccination or surgical depending on the type of cancer. This session of the Oncology Conference will be about how organ removal or hormonal blockage affects people, and advancements in the scientific field about reducing its side effects.

Session 5: Suicide Gene Therapy

A therapeutic strategy in which apoptosis-inducing transgenes are introduced into the cancerous cells, i.e. cell suicide is promoted into the cells that turn cancerous. Current cancer treatments create profound iatrogenic consequences. In this Cancer Therapy Conference the point to be discussed is the adverse effects of the treatments that still remain, as the serious problems that practicing physicians have to cope with in clinical practice. Although, non-specific cytotoxic agents constitute an effective treatment modality against cancer cells, they also tend to kill normal, quickly dividing cells. Suicide gene therapy is a new milestone in the medical world of cancer treatment that seems to have a promising future.

Session 7: Molecular Targeted Therapy

A modernized version of pharmacotherapy that blocks the growth of cancer cells by interfering with specific targeted molecules needed for carcinogenesis and tumor growth, unlike conventional chemotherapy that interferes with all rapidly dividing cells. Molecular Targeted Therapy is the expected to be a more effective method therapeutically and less harmful to the normal cells in the body. This particular session of the Cancer Treatment Conference shall emphasize on the targeted therapies for various types of cancers and how its effectiveness is greater compared to the rest of the conventional treatments.

Session 9: Stem Cell Transplant

Transplantation of Stem Cells does not literally act “against” cancer; instead, they help recover the ability to produce stem cells after treatment with very high doses of radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or both. HCT (Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation) is considered to be a lifesaving procedure in recent times. Thus, how to improvise the method for the betterment of the patients suffering from this lethal disease is a major concern and is to be a hot topic at the Oncology Conference.

Session 10: Regenerative Medicine

Regenerative medicines are a branch of translational research that includes ability of growing tissues and organs in the laboratory and implanting them when the body cannot heal itself to establish normal functioning of the body. The advancements in the field are vast as extracellular matrix materials are now commercially available and are used in re-constructive surgery, treating chronic wounds as well as some orthopedic surgeries; as the reports of January 2017 clinical studies, it was under way to use them in heart surgery to repair damaged heart tissue. This session at the Cancer Therapy 2018 Conference shall be about the future prospects and vital improvisations that can be brought about for this therapeutic process.

Session 11: Gastric Cancer and Japan

In Japan, gastric cancer remains a crucial public pathological state. An oversized proportion of Japanese gastric cancers area unit detected at associate in nursing early stage, with a higher overall survival rate. Like Western developed countries, a modification within the social atmosphere like reduced salt use and exaggerated contemporary vegetable and fruit intake additionally as improvement of food storage could play a crucial half within the decline. Variations in Helicobacter pylori infection rates between generations presumptively have contributed to the generation connected variation within the declining trends. This form of cancer can be treated after biopsy, by of the conventional cancer treatment methods. This particular session of the Cancer Therapy conference is designed owing to the dominance (about 64% of the world gastric cancers are cases in Japan) of this specific form of cancer in Japan compared to the rest of the world.

Session 12: Can Cannabis Cure Cancer?

Used as a herbal remedy for centuries now, many active biological components have been discovered in Cannabis and many yet to be found over the years. Cannabis oil has been found to cure cancer symptoms and also the side effects of cancer therapies very effectively in many case studies and has thus become a broad topic of research recently which is flourishing in the United States of America in context to which even a certain “Medical Marijuana Research Bill” has also been passed in the country proving that the scope of this particular herbal therapy is not petty. In This specific session of the Cancer Therapy Conference let us discover the truth from the experts themselves.

Session 12: Big Data Analytics

The cancer research communities now believe that a cure is likely to emerge not only from pure biomedical research but from the intersection of cancer biology, mathematics, machine learning and data analytics. So it might not be surprising in today’s date to find a data scientist leading a team of researchers, scientists and developers to find the drugs to effectively treat – and ultimately defeat – cancer. Big Data Analytics in in cancer therapy shall set a milestone in this Cancer Therapy Conference.

Related Conferences: Big Data Analysis and Data Mining Conference, 20-21 June, 2018, Italy; Big Data Analytics Conference: Data Visualisation, July 3, 2018, UK; International Conference on Brain Stimulation, November 26-27, 2018, Japan; International Conference on Big Data & Data Science, March 4-5, 2019, Spain

Important is the fact that the cancer prevalence has been increasing mostly due to the increasing lifespan of people. While recent changes in lifestyle have an impact on the spread of cancer, about two-thirds of the increase in the rate of cancer is due to longevity. More than three-quarters of all people diagnosed with cancer in the UK are over the age of 60.3

Adding to the increasing cancer prevalence, there are several reasons that currently lead to an increase in the cancer therapy market. These include the availability and high development cost of better immunotherapy agents, the non-curable and lethal nature of most of the cancer forms, the reduced competition among agents as the use of an agent does not preclude from the concurrent/subsequent use of another one, that cheaper generics are often not considered as available alternatives to newer more costly agents but they are replaced by them, the earlier diagnoses and increased chronic management, the lack of magnitude threshold of drug benefit and increased insurance premiums due to unpredictable disease status. Between the years 2007 and 2013 for instance, the global cancer therapy market more than doubled, the global cancer therapy market increased from $40.0 billion in 2007 to an estimated $47.3 billion by the end of 2008 and $110.6 billion in 2013 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.5%.

This is a high annual growth rate of over 18%. Looking at the targeted therapy separately, which constitutes 45% of the cancer therapy market, this about tripled in within the same duration, increasing from combined market cost value of about $22 billion to almost 70 billion.

The total worldwide cancer drug market approached $14.8 billion in 2000.

Growing at an average annual rate (AAGR) of 12.5%, this market exceeded $26.7 billion in 2005.

Established product lines currently constitute of nearly 90% of the global market, but will grow at only a rate of 6.6% AAGR through the period.

Innovative therapies, climbing at an AAGR of 40.2%, reached $8.6 billion in 2005, representing 32% of the total market.

Breast cancer therapy has the largest market with around $11.0 billion in sales in 2007. It increased to $12.0 billion in 2008 and $26.5 billion in 2013, by a CAGR of 16.4%.

Target therapy dominated in 2007 with a 45% share of the total cancer therapy market. This increased to 48% by 2008 and 62.5% in 2013.

There are ethical issues surrounding the comparative research on newer therapies for a dangerous disease like cancer, particularly the prospective research, which generally stem from the fact that exposing study participants to increased risk with experimental therapies may not actually be counterbalanced by clinical benefit. In comparative research, participants may, for example, be harmed by receiving a placebo instead of an active treatment or, more commonly, participants stand the chance of receiving an experimental cancer therapy that will eventually turn out to be inferior to the best usual therapy available to patients. This is ethically problematic, given the recognized ethical principle that patients should receive the best proven standard of care whenever feasible.
