DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The majority of cancer-related deaths are due to metastasis. Given the important clinical problem, research in this area is necessary in order to improve cure rates. Dissemination of research findings is also critical since the problem is both complex and important. This R13 application is to support the 10th, 11th and 12th International Congresses of the Metastasis Research Society. The 10th Biennial Meeting of the Society, which has taken place alternately in Europe and United States since 1984, will take place in Genoa, Italy. Future meetings are planned for 2006 in Tokushima, Japan and 2008 in the United States. These meetings are important and timely with regard to recent advances in the metastasis field. Congresses of the Metastasis Research Society have become widely recognized for their overall excellence in defining basic research approaches for the treatment, prevention and control of metastasis. They are unique in that few meetings focus on this clinical problem. The 10th International Congress will address today's most challenging and unresolved problems in the field. The objective is to exchange new data, technology and ideas in both formal and informal settings. The conference is designed with overview lectures by senior investigators in genetics, microenvironment influence on tumor cells, new treatments, immunology/chemoprevention and imaging/molecular diagnostics and signaling. The plenary talks will be followed in each session by an additional 3-4 presentations selected from proffered abstracts. Inclusion of a high percentage of papers from the abstracts is a tradition of the Metastasis Research Society and serves the purpose of fostering young investigator development and recognition. Conference goals are: (1) To define the challenges and opportunities in metastasis; (2) To encourage young and established investigators to focus research endeavors in metastasis by defining high priority, unresolved basic and clinical issues and by discussing approaches of investigation for each; (3) To encourage multidisciplinary analysis of current data relevant to the biology, prevention in management of cancer metastasis; (5) To identify research opportunities, approaches and resources needed to develop new preventive, diagnostic and treatment approaches for metastatic disease; (6) To promote research and to encourage collaboration which will focus diversified expertise and resources on priority topics relevant to metastatic disease; and (7) To disseminate results presented at the conference.

描述（由申请人提供）：大多数癌症相关死亡是由于转移。鉴于这一重要的临床问题，为了提高治愈率，在这一领域进行研究是必要的。研究成果的传播也至关重要，因为这个问题既复杂又重要。本R13申请是为了支持第十、十一、十二届国际转移研究学会大会。自1984年以来交替在欧洲和美国举行的学会第10届两年一次会议将在意大利热那亚举行。未来的会议计划于2006年在日本德岛举行，2008年在美国举行。这些会议是重要的和及时的关于转移领域的最新进展。
