About the Scientific Program
CABS and BCF meetings are premier international scientific events that provide an international forum to present and discuss current basic and clinical science in the rapidly advancing field of skeletal complications of cancer.
 
     Learning objectives:
  • ·         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 tumor cells on the skeleton
  • ·         Understanding of the mechanisms of therapy resistance

Advancing the Management of Cancer-Related Bone Disease
Bone is the most common site of cancer metastasis, and bone metastases are often involved in advanced breast and prostate cancer. Fractures are a serious consequence of bone metastases, as well as predictors of poor survival in cancer. This symposium focuses on the current state of the art in the treatment and prevention of cancer-related bone loss, fracture, and bone metastases, and also features a discussion on how the pathophysiology of bone disease is informing the development of new and emerging therapies.
