GORDON RESEARCH CONFERENCE ON HORMONAL CARCINOGENESIS

会议的目的是提供一个互动的论坛 科学家们代表了广泛的跨学科， 其研究定义了激素研究的前沿的兴趣 致癌作用会议在一个促进自由和 信任数据和新想法的交流。 会议将重点讨论 以下科学领域与目前的研究有关， 激素致癌作用。从生物学中提取最好的模型， 化学，与会者将（1）讨论潜在的机制 与乳腺癌相关，（2）检查相关基因的调节 与类固醇激素代谢和类固醇激素代谢的酶学，（3）关键 评估细胞分化缺陷在肿瘤形成中的作用，（4） 考虑癌症的分子遗传学及其对激素水平的影响， 致癌作用，（5）确定雄激素的肿瘤潜力， 前列腺发育和癌症的细胞生物学，以及（6）深入研究 通过阳性和阴性信号控制细胞增殖， 这些信号与癌基因和肿瘤发生的关联。

The purpose of the conference is to provide a forum for the interaction between scientists representing a broad spectrum of interdisciplinary interests whose studies define the leading edge of research on hormonal carcinogenesis. The conference is held in a setting which fosters free and trusting exchange of data and new ideas. The conference will focus on the following scientific areas that are relevant to current research on hormonal carcinogenesis. Drawing the best models from biology and chemistry, the participants will (1) discuss the underlying mechanisms associated with breast cancer, (2) examine the regulation of genes involved with, and the enzymology of, steroid hormone metabolism, (3) critically evaluate the role of cell differentiation defects in neoplasia, (4) consider the molecular genetics of cancer and its implications for hormonal carcinogenesis, (5) define the neoplastic potential of androgens and the cellular biology of prostate development and cancer, and (6) study in-depth the control of cell proliferation by positive and negative signals and the association of these signals with oncogenes and oncogenesis.
