INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON HORMONAL CARCINOGENESIS

第二届激素致癌作用国际研讨会的目标 是为美国和外国的调查人员提供一个论坛， 积极从事前沿研究的学科， 激素致癌作用。由于这一领域吸引了来自 广泛不同的学科（即毒理学，细胞和分子生物学， 病理学，生物化学等），这是相关的，这样的研究人员是 提供了一个论坛，分析，批判性评估，并讨论最新的 发展，未解决的问题，以及激素的当前理论 致癌作用 激素致癌作用领域是一个快速发展的领域， 扩大一个，因为越来越认识到的主要作用， 激素在一些主要人类癌症的病因学中的作用;特别是 乳腺前列腺卵巢和子宫 1994年专题讨论会，将与卡罗林斯卡 研究所（Novum研究园），已扩大其重点，包括 流行病学（分子）和临床（OC，绝经后 雌激素/孕酮风险）激素致癌的特征，此外， 到深入传播细胞和分子机制 参与激素致癌过程，从实验性的 动物模型系统。激素调节增殖， 细胞的分化和肿瘤转化将被强调 器官部位。这些包括乳腺、子宫/垂体、肾脏， 肝脏和前列腺海报会议将强调流行病学的 激素癌症以及细胞和分子生物学。现有技术 讲座，这些专题讨论会的一个新特点，将提出对 与激素致癌作用相关的重要主题。因为 全面和综合的形式，这些研讨会，他们已经成为 传播最新进展的主要国际论坛， 在数据和理论上，在实地。 会议记录将在 书的形式，以提供更广泛的曝光信息产生的， 研讨会

The goal of the Second International Symposium on Hormonal Carcinogenesis is to provide a forum for both USA and foreign investigators of different disciplines who are actively engaged in the leading edges of research in hormonal carcinogenesis. Since this field has attracted scientists from widely diverse disciplines (i.e. toxicology, cell and molecular biology, 'pathology, biochemistry, etc) it is pertinent that such investigators are provided a forum to analyze, critically evaluate, and discuss the latest developments, unresolved problems, and current theories in hormonal carcinogenesis. The field of hormonal carcinogenesis is a rapidly expanding one because of the growing realization for a primary role of hormones in the etiology of some of the major human cancers; particularly the breast, prostate, ovary, and uterus. The 1994 Symposium, to be held in conjunction with the Karolinska Institute (Novum Research Park), has expanded its focus to include epidemiology (molecular) and clinical (OC's, post-menopausal estrogen/progestin risk) features of hormonal carcinogenesis, in addition to in-depth dissemination of the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in hormonal carcinogenic processes as evolved from experimental animal model systems. Hormonal regulation of proliferation, differentiation, and neoplastic transformation of cells will be emphasized by organ sites. These include mammary gland, uterus/pituitary, kidney, liver, and prostate. Poster Sessions will emphasize epidemiology of hormonal cancers and also cell and molecular biology. State of the Art lectures, a new feature of these Symposia, will be presented on significant subjects relevant to hormonal carcinogenesis. Because of the comprehensive and integrated format, these Symposia, they have become the major international forum for dissemination of the latest advances, both in data and theory, in the field. The proceedings will be published in book form to provide wider exposure of information generated from this Symposium.
