The Neural Regulation of Cancer

The Neural Regulation of Cancer is jointly sponsored by the Society for Neuro-Oncology and the World Federation of Neurology.

The participants will understand the following objectives:
• Role of the nervous system in the regulation of brain and other types of cancer.
• The neuromolecular pathways involved in the regulation of cancer proliferation, invasion, and survival.
• Potential therapeutic targets along with the nervous system - cancer axi.
• Current clinical trials are underway to target these pathways.
