Sixth Research workshop on Head and Neck Cancer

简介（由申请人提供）：第六届头颈癌生物学、预防和治疗研究研讨会是每四年举行一次的系列会议中的下一个预定会议。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，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、器官保留手术、放射学和影像学、放疗、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者、遗传学家、免疫学家、分子和细胞生物学家聚集在一起，分享头颈癌的最新进展，确定未来研究的需要领域，并通过在《头颈》杂志上发表摘要，将这些信息传播给相关领域的更大的研究者群体。研究讲习班特别适合培训青年科学家，使他们接触到与他们自己的研究领域有关的各种各样的主题。本申请书要求为参加研讨会的青年研究人员提供旅行奖学金。讲习班对头颈癌生物学、治疗和预防的研究进展以及对公众健康的贡献至关重要。

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.
