INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON HORMONAL CARCINOGENESIS

第二届激素性癌变国际学术研讨会的目标 是为美国和不同国家的外国调查人员提供一个论坛 积极从事前沿研究的学科 荷尔蒙致癌。由于这一领域吸引了来自 广泛不同的学科(如毒理学、细胞和分子生物学、 病理学、生物化学等)这样的研究人员是中肯的 提供了一个论坛来分析、批判性评估和讨论最新 荷尔蒙的发展、悬而未决的问题和当前的理论 致癌。荷尔蒙致癌领域是一个迅速的 扩展一个，因为人们越来越认识到 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年与卡罗林斯卡联合举行的专题讨论会 研究所(Novum Research Park)，已将重点扩大到包括 流行病学(分子)和临床(绝经后的OC) 雌激素/孕激素风险)，此外，激素致癌的特征 向深入传播的细胞和分子机制 参与荷尔蒙致癌过程，从实验进化而来 动物模型系统。激素对增殖的调节， 将强调细胞的分化和肿瘤转化 按器官部位分类。这些器官包括乳腺、子宫/垂体、肾脏、 肝脏和前列腺。海报会议将强调流行性感冒的流行病学 荷尔蒙癌症以及细胞和分子生物学。最先进的技术 讲座是这些研讨会的一个新特点，将在 与荷尔蒙致癌相关的重要课题。因为 全面、综合的形式，这些座谈会，他们已经成为 传播最新进展的主要国际论坛，两者 在数据和理论上，在实地。会议记录将发表在 账簿形式，以提供更广泛的信息曝光 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.
