Sixth Research workshop on Head and Neck Cancer

描述(申请人提供)：第六届头颈癌生物学、预防和治疗研究工作坊是每四年举行一次的系列会议中的下一次。研究研讨会是最重要的国际跨学科研究会议，集中在一次会议上，讨论与头颈癌有关的主题。这些主题包括分子遗传学、肿瘤细胞生物学、免疫学、基因治疗、器官保留外科、放射学和成像、放射治疗、化疗、化学预防和生活质量问题。研究研讨会的目标是将临床研究人员、遗传学家、免疫学家以及分子和细胞生物学家聚集在一起，分享头颈部癌症的最新进展，确定未来研究的必要领域，并通过在《头与颈》杂志上发表摘要向相关领域的更大研究人员社区传播这一信息。研究讲习班特别适合于培训年轻科学家，他们可以接触到与自己研究领域有关的各种主题。这项申请要求为参加研讨会的年轻研究人员提供旅行奖学金。这些研讨会对头颈部癌症生物学、治疗、预防和有助于公众健康的进展的研究进展至关重要。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Sixth Research Workshop on the Biology, Prevention and Treatment of Head and Neck Cancer is the next scheduled conference in a series held every four years. The research workshops are the most important international interdisciplinary research conferences focused, in a single meeting, on topics related to head and neck cancer. These topics include molecular genetics, tumor cell biology, immunology, gene therapy, organ-sparing surgery, radiology and imaging, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, chemoprevention, and quality of life issues. The goals of the Research Workshops are to bring together clinical investigators, geneticists, immunologists, and molecular and cellular biologists to share recent advances in head and neck cancer, identify needed areas of future research and disseminate this information to the larger community of investigators in related fields through publication of the abstracts in the journal Head and Neck. The Research Workshops are particularly suitable for training young scientists, who gain exposure to a diverse array of topics related to their own field of studies. This application requests funds for travel scholarships for young investigators to attend the workshop. The Workshops are of utmost importance for research progress in head and neck cancer biology, therapy, and prevention and progress contributing to the public health.
