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(申请人提供)：大多数与癌症相关的死亡是由转移引起的。鉴于这一重要的临床问题，为了提高治愈率，有必要对这一领域进行研究。传播研究成果也是至关重要的，因为这个问题既复杂又重要。这个R13应用程序是为了支持第10届、第11届和第12届国际转移研究学会大会。协会第十次双年度会议自1984年以来在欧洲和美国轮流举行，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。就转移领域的最新进展而言，这些会议是重要和及时的。 肿瘤转移研究学会会议因其在确定治疗、预防和控制转移的基础研究方法方面的总体卓越而得到广泛认可。他们的独特之处在于，很少有会议关注这个临床问题。第十届国际大会将讨论当今该领域最具挑战性和悬而未决的问题。其目标是在正式和非正式环境中交流新的数据、技术和思想。这次会议由高级研究人员在遗传学、微环境对肿瘤细胞的影响、新的治疗方法、免疫学/化学预防以及成像/分子诊断和信号方面的概述讲座设计。在全体会议之后，每届会议还将从所提供的摘要中挑选出另外3-4个报告。从摘要中收录高比例的论文是转移研究学会的传统，用于培养年轻研究人员的发展和认可。 会议的目标是：(1)界定转移中的挑战和机遇；(2)通过定义高度优先的、尚未解决的基础和临床问题并讨论每个问题的研究方法，鼓励年轻和成熟的研究人员集中研究转移；(3)鼓励对当前与癌症转移的生物学、预防和管理相关的数据进行多学科分析；(5)确定为转移疾病开发新的预防、诊断和治疗方法所需的研究机会、方法和资源；(6)促进研究和鼓励合作，将不同的专业知识和资源集中在与转移疾病相关的优先主题上；(七)传播大会成果。
