Join Us at the International Conference on Oncology And Cancer
Dates: June 20 -21, 2025
Location: Barcelona, Spain
Dear Doctors, Healthcare Professionals, Researchers, and Students
Researchers Fusion are excited to extend a warm invitation to you for the 2nd International Conference on Oncology And Cancer, taking place as an interactive on September 19-20, 2024. This congress promises to be a dynamic platform for sharing cutting-edge research, exploring innovative therapies, and discussing the latest trends in combating Oncology And Cancer.
Oncology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cancer. It is a complex field that involves various specialists and approaches to managing cancer at all stages. Here's a broad overview of oncology and cancer:
What is Cancer?
Cancer is a collection of related diseases where abnormal cells begin to divide without control and can invade nearby tissues. These uncontrolled cells may also spread to other parts of the body via the bloodstream or lymphatic system (a process known as metastasis). Cancer can develop in almost any organ or tissue of the body, such as the lungs, colon, prostate, skin, or breast.
Types of Cancer
There are many different types of cancer, classified primarily based on the organ or cell type from which the cancer originates. Major categories include:
Carcinomas – cancers that begin in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs (e.g., lung, breast, and colon cancer).
Sarcomas – cancers that begin in bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, or other connective tissues.
Leukemias – cancers that begin in blood-forming tissues, such as the bone marrow, and affect the blood and bone marrow.
Lymphomas – cancers that begin in lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell), typically affecting the lymph nodes.
Central nervous system cancers – cancers that begin in the brain or spinal cord.
Causes and Risk Factors
The exact cause of cancer is often unknown, but there are various factors that increase the risk of developing cancer, including:
Genetics: Inherited mutations in certain genes can increase the risk (e.g., BRCA1/BRCA2 gene mutations for breast cancer).
Environmental factors: Exposure to carcinogens (e.g., tobacco smoke, radiation, asbestos) increases the risk.
Lifestyle factors: Diet, lack of physical activity, obesity, and alcohol use can contribute to cancer development.
Infections: Certain viruses and bacteria are linked to cancer (e.g., HPV and cervical cancer, H. pylori and stomach cancer).
Age: The risk of cancer increases with age due to the accumulation of genetic mutations over time.
