Submit your abstract to any of the mentioned tracks.

Track 1:Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is a type of cancer that originates in the cells of the breast. It's one of the most common cancers among women worldwide, but it can also occur in men.

Origins: Breast cancer develops when cells in the breast start growing uncontrollably.
Types: There are several types of breast cancer, including invasive ductal carcinoma and invasive lobular carcinoma.
Risk Factors: Age, family history, certain genetic mutations, and hormonal factors can increase the risk.
Stages: Breast cancer is staged based on the tumor size, lymph node involvement, and metastasis.
Treatment: Treatment options include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and targeted therapy.
Survival Rates: Survival rates vary depending on the stage and type of breast cancer.

Early detection through regular breast self-exams, clinical exams, and mammograms can greatly improve the chances of successful treatment and outcomes.

Track 2:Myeloid leukaemia, Myelodysplastic and Myeloproliferative Syndrome

A set of disorders known as myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms cause an excessive production of white blood cells in the bone marrow. Myelodysplastic and myeloproliferative neoplasms are conditions that affect the bone marrow and blood. the structure of a bone. Bone marrow, spongy bone, and compact bone make up the bone.

Track 3:Rare tumours and Histiocytosis

A rare condition called Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) starts in LCH cells. Dendritic cells of the LCH cell type are typically used by the body to fight infection. Genes that regulate the function of dendritic cells can occasionally undergo mutations (changes). Gene mutations in the BRAF, MAP2K1, RAS, and ARAF families are among them. In some areas of the body, these mutations may cause an excessive number of LCH cells to develop and accumulate, which could lead to lesions or tissue damage.

Track 4:Epidemiology, Policy and Advocacy

The application of what is understood and practical is at the heart of both public health practice and policy. Similar to how an oncologist could treat a cancer patient even though he is aware of the treatment's severe limits and that new scientific knowledge will eventually emerge, the oncologist must still take immediate action to assist the patient with the tools at hand. The public health professional must act in the interests of the general public and must be ready to alter direction as science advances. This implies that epidemiologists must communicate freely about their conclusions and accurately reflect what the data reveal. More or less inside a societal and political context, public health and the rest of the public process, including policy, will employ those findings.

Track 5:Supportive Care and Palliative Care

Supportive care was created especially to counteract the side effects of cancer treatment. A medical speciality focused on assisting patients with serious illnesses to live as fully as possible, palliative care has historical roots in end-of-life and hospice care.

Track 6:Tumour Biology, Immunology and Immunotherapy

In order to assist your immune system fight cancer, there is a sort of cancer treatment known as immunotherapy. Your body's immune system aids in the defence against infections and other diseases. White blood cells, organs, and lymphatic system components make up its composition. Biological therapy includes immunotherapy.

Track 7:Pediatric Hematologic Malignancies

The types of cancer known as hematological malignancies start in the cells of the bone marrow or another tissue that produces blood. Despite being relatively uncommon, childhood blood cancers are still the leading cause of death for kids aged 1 to 14.

Track 8:Proton therapy

A form of radiation therapy called proton therapy substitutes protons for x-rays. It administers radiation painlessly to treat various cancer kinds. Although proton therapy is a novel, promising form of cancer treatment, research is still ongoing to determine whether it has any advantages over conventional radiation therapy. Clinical trials are still being studied to understand how they compare.

In comparison to other forms of radiation therapy, proton therapy generally has fewer side effects. This is due to the fact that it may be directed more specifically at the tumor and does less harm to surrounding tissue.

Track 9:Organic Foods and Cancer Risk: Separating Myth from Fact

To determine whether there was a link between the participants’ organic food intake and cancer risk, the researchers separated the participants into four groups, based on how often they ate organic foods, ranging from “most of the time” to “never.” Then they compared the cancer rates among the four groups.

The researchers found that the participants in the group that ate organic foods most often were 75 percent less likely to develop cancer, compared to those in the group that never ate them. When considering individual types of cancer, the findings were strongest for postmenopausal breast cancer, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and other lymphomas.

This study has many strengths, such as its size and design. But interpreting the findings isn’t as straightforward as it seems. “Diet is complex,” says Nigel Brockton, PhD, director of research at AICR. “People who report eating organic foods are more likely to engage in healthy lifestyle behaviors, such as exercising or not smoking, which would lower their cancer risk.” For example, in this study, the researchers found that the people who ate organic foods most often were also more likely to eat an overall healthy diet that was rich in fiber, legumes, fruits, and vegetables – known cancer-fighting foods.

Track 10:Oncology Nursing

A specialist nurse who treats cancer patients is known as an oncology nurse. These nurses need higher levels of certification and cancer clinical experience than the normal baccalaureate nursing school can offer. In order to provide oncology patients with the necessary screenings, preventive measures, symptom management, and care to maintain as much normal functioning as possible, and supporting measures towards the end of life, oncology nursing care must be outlined.

Track 11:Radiation Oncology

A multidisciplinary approach to treating cancer must include the medical specialty of radiation oncology (radiotherapy/radiotherapy). It makes use of high-energy x-rays (photons), which are typically delivered by a linear accelerator. These non-invasive, painless therapeutic x-rays are used to treat a variety of malignancies. A multidisciplinary team made up of radiation oncologists (your specialist doctor), nurses, radiation therapists, and medical physicists will assess you, plan your treatment, give it to you, and assist you with any side affects you may experience.

Track 12:Colorectal Cancer and Stem Cells

Carcinoma of the rectum, which is the bottom portion of the digestive tract. Noncancerous polyps may appear in early cases. These are frequently asymptomatic but can be found by screening. Doctors advise testing for patients at high risk or who are over 50 because of this. The location and size of the disease determine the symptoms of colorectal cancer.

In colorectal cancer, cancer stem cells (CSCs) promote tumour development, metastasis, and treatment resistance (CRC). Because of the intricacy of their isolation, these cells are a prospective target for the treatment of CRC but are challenging to research.

Track 13:Cancer Causes and Diagnosis

Various variables are probably at work, but the precise aetiology of cancer is unknown. Less than 5% of cancers are connected to known hereditary gene mutations, even though genetic factors have been linked to some cancer forms. For instance, BRCA1 and BRCA2 are two genes that have been linked to breast cancer, yet they account for fewer than 5% of all cases of the disease. Most cancers are caused by genetic changes in cells that take place during a person's lifetime as a result of environmental influences like smoking or radiation exposure.

Oncologists, who specialise in treating cancer, will assess your symptoms, examine you physically, and request X-rays and blood testing. But only a tissue sample, known as a biopsy, may be used to determine for sure whether a cell is malignant.

Track 14:Cancer Biomarkers

Testing for biomarkers is a means to find genes, proteins, and other components (also known as tumor markers or biomarkers) that can reveal information about cancer. A distinct pattern of biomarkers characterizes each person's cancer. Some biomarkers influence the efficacy of specific cancer therapies.

Track 15:Cancer Therapeutics and Novel Approaches

One in every six fatalities worldwide is caused by the global health issue of cancer. The procedure of treating cancer has been quite difficult. Aside from recent significant advancements in stem cell therapy, targeted therapy, ablation therapy, nanoparticles, natural antioxidants, radionics, chemo dynamic therapy, sonodynamic therapy, and ferroptosis-based therapy, traditional treatment modalities like surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy are still in use. Oncology practises today concentrate on creating effective and secure cancer nanomedicines. Targeting both primary and metastatic cancer foci, stem cell therapy has demonstrated remarkable success in regenerating and repairing diseased or damaged tissues, and nanoparticles have introduced novel diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities.

Track 16:Cancer Management and preventions

Cancer prevention is the practise of reducing the likelihood of developing cancer. This can involve leading a healthy lifestyle, avoiding contact with known carcinogens, and receiving cancer-preventing treatments or vaccinations. Nearly 1.9 million Americans will receive a cancer diagnosis in 2021. Cancer patients, their families, and the general public are burdened by the high expenditures of care in addition to the physical issues and emotional pain it causes. The number of new cases of cancer is decreased by preventing it. Hopefully, this will lessen the impact of cancer and the number of cancer-related fatalities.

Track 17:Gynaecologic Oncology

Ovarian, uterine, vaginal, cervical, and vulvar cancers are among the tumours of the female reproductive system that are the focus of the specialist medical discipline known as Gynaecologic oncology. They have significant training in the detection and management of various tumours as specialists. Every year, 82,000 women in the US receive a gynaecologic cancer diagnosis. An estimated 91,730 people were diagnosed in 2013.

Professional associations for gynaecologic oncologists include the Society of Gynaecologic Oncology, the European Society of Gynaecological Oncology, and the Gynaecologic Oncology Group. These associations serve both gynaecologic oncologists and other medical specialists who treat gynaecologic cancers.

Track 18:Immuno Oncology

The research and creation of cancer treatments that make use of the immune system of the body are known as immuno-oncology. Our immune system, which is made up of a complex web of organs, cells, and molecules, defends us against pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and viruses as well as other foreign invaders.

Track 19:Neuro Oncology

The medical specialty of neurooncology deals with brain and spinal cord malignancies. Nervous system cancers are frequently serious illnesses that can ultimately be fatal.

These neurological cancers can be fatal and include brain stem tumours, astrocytomas, glioblastoma multiform, pontine gliomas, gliomas, and gliomas. High-grade astrocytomas and brain stem gliomas are two of the most serious malignant brain tumours, with patients typically not living more than a few months without therapy.

Track 20:Anticancer drug-discovery therapy

Chemotherapy, commonly referred to as chemo or anticancer medicine, is the use of drugs to eradicate, eradicate, shrink, or inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells. There are more than 100 distinct chemo medications. While certain malignancies can be treated with only one type of chemotherapy medication, others may require a combination of surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy.

Chemotherapy’s primary objective is to:

Get rid of cancerous cells

minimize the tumor

prevent the spread of cancer

relieve cancer symptoms

Chemotherapy can be administered via:

Intravenous (IV) (IV)

Orally (pill or liquid), intravenously

cream applied to the skin

Track 21:Pediatric Oncology

The medical specialty that focuses on the analysis, therapy, and management of cancer is known as oncology. Oncologists are medical professionals with a focus in oncology. The field of medicine known as paediatric oncology is dedicated to treating cancer in newborns, kids, and teenagers. A paediatric oncologist is a medical professional who specialises in treating children with cancer.

Track 22:Pulmonary Oncology

Lung cancer, which most frequently affects smokers and has its origins in the lungs. Small cell and non-small cell lung cancer are the two main subtypes. Smoking, exposure to second-hand smoke, certain chemicals, and family history are some of the factors that contribute to lung cancer. Chest pain, wheezing, a bloody cough, and weight loss are among the symptoms.

Track 23:Surgical Oncology

A branch of medicine known as surgical oncology focuses on the surgical treatment of cancer. Its major objective is to locate and eliminate any hazardous malignancies from your body. Additionally, surgical oncologists can determine whether you have cancer and whether it has spread to other organs.

Track 24:Cancer and Oncology Diagnosis and Screening

A few tests can aid in the early detection of cancer. This process is known as cancer screening. Reduce the number of cancer-related fatalities is one of the primary objectives of cancer screening. Eliminate all cancer-related deaths. A computed tomography (CT) scan, bone scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET) scan, ultrasound, and X-ray are a few of the imaging procedures that can be used to diagnose cancer. Your doctor takes a sample of cells during a biopsy to examine in a lab.

Track 25:Cancer and Oncology Genetics

A genetic disorder, malignancy. Changes in the genes that govern how cells divide and grow are the cause of it. The atomic units of your body are cells. Your genes, which function like an instruction manual, are replicated in every cell. DNA segments known as genes contain the information needed to produce one or more proteins. Researchers have identified hundreds of genetic and DNA abnormalities, also known as variants, mutations, or alterations, that support the development, growth, and spread of cancer. Genetic alterations linked to cancer can happen because:

As our cells divide, random errors occur in our DNA. Carcinogens in our environment, such as chemicals in cigarette smoke, UV rays from the sun, and the human papillomavirus (HPV), also damage our DNA. These factors were inherited from one of our parents.

Track 26:Cancer Awareness and Survival

In England and Wales, 50% of those who are diagnosed with cancer go on to have a ten-year or longer survival rate (2010-11).Women has a greater cancer survival rate than males do.

In the UK, cancer survivorship is increasing and has doubled in the past 40 years. In England, Wales, and Scotland, the five-year relative survival rate for cancer in men is lower than the European average. In England, Wales, and Scotland, the five-year relative survival rate for cancer in women is lower than the European average.

The primary objectives of the day are to raise awareness of the illness and reduce the stigma associated with it.

Track 27:Cancer Epidemiology Prevention

Cancer epidemiology is the study of the causes of the development, spread, and prognosis of different forms of cancer. Findings from epidemiological studies on cancer can help in the development of effective therapeutic treatment regimens and cancer prevention medications.

Track 28:Cancer Metastasis

Metastatic cancer refers to cancer that spreads from the site of origin to a different area of the body. It is also known as stage IV (4) cancer for many different types of cancer. Metastasis is the process through which cancer cells spread to other areas of the body. The primary cancer's term also applies to metastatic cancer. For instance, metastatic breast cancer, not lung cancer, is the term used to describe breast cancer that has spread to the lung. Not lung cancer, but stage IV breast cancer, is how it is handled.

Track 29:Clinical Oncology

Radiotherapy and systemic therapy are both used in clinical oncology to treat malignant illness. The majority of cancer patients have many forms of treatment, like surgery to remove a tumour, followed by radiotherapy and/or systemic therapy. A surgical oncologist (or maybe another sort of doctor termed an interventional oncologist) would perform the surgery, and a clinical or medical oncologist and their team would organise and administer the other treatments. Although only clinical oncologists are qualified to provide radiotherapy, both medical oncologists and clinical oncologists provide non-surgical cancer treatment.

Track 30:Natural methods for treatment of Cancer

These include:

Aromatherapy: Fragrant oils are used in aromatherapy to create a relaxing effect. When receiving a massage or taking a bath, you can apply oils to your skin that have been infused with aromas like lavender. In order to release their scents into the air, fragrant oils can also be heated. Aromatherapy may be helpful in relieving nausea, pain and stress.

Cognitive behavioural approach. A popular form of talk therapy is cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). A mental health professional, such as a psychotherapist or therapist, works with you to view difficult events more clearly and react in a more effective manner during a CBT session.

Exercise: Getting some exercise can help you control your symptoms both during and after cancer treatment. You may have less stress and exhaustion as a result of light exercise. Recent research suggests that an exercise regimen may lengthen cancer patients' lives and enhance their general quality of life.

Track 31:Neonatal and Pediatric Oncology

The term "neonatal & paediatric oncology" refers to all cancer-related malignancies that affect newborns & young children. Leukaemia (which starts in blood-forming tissue like bone marrow), lymphoma (cancer in immune system cells), neuroblastoma (cancer of the nerve cells), retinoblastoma (cancer of the tissues of the retina), Wilms tumour (kidney cancer), and brain tumours like gliomas are the most prevalent childhood cancers. Childhood malignancies are extremely uncommon and may behave differently than adult cancers in terms of how they develop, spread, are treated, and react to therapy.

Track 32:Oncology and Cancer Research

Studies on cancer explore for to discover more effective ways to identify, diagnose, and treat cancer. These studies can be created in a variety of methods by doctors and scientists to address their research questions. No research plan is ideal. Each has advantages and limitations. It's critical to comprehend the design of studies. This can assist you in interpreting the results for yourself. It will take a while before the findings of certain studies have an impact on patient care because they are very preliminary or "early." The outcomes of other studies could immediately affect how doctors care for and treat cancer patients.

There are 3 main types of cancer research studies:

Preclinical studies

Experimental studies , called clinical trials

Observational study

Track 33:Pediatric Pharmacotherapy

Pediatric pharmacotherapy is concerned with the special treatment requirements of newborns, babies, kids, and teenagers. Patients in these age groups have unique obstacles that adult patients do not. Medications may not be absorbed, distributed, metabolised, or excreted in the same way as they are in adults, which could result in increased or decreased efficacy or safety.
