Compelling evidence support the idea that the nervous system plays a central role in oncogenesis, growth, and invasion by tumors. In turn, cancer has the ability to hijack and/or remodel nervous system functions and structures to benefit its own growth and malignancy and to affect resistance to drug treatment and immune response. The emerging field of cancer neuroscience aims to unravel key signaling pathways in the tumor-nervous system axis and to evaluate these modulators as future targets for innovative and effective therapies for many of the most difficult-to-treat malignancies. The conference specifically aims to provide an opportunity for young and talented researchers to present their contributions in this novel field. In addition, Honorary lectures by outstanding experts in this field are also included in the program to ensure the full success of the conference and its objectives.
