Second ESH-EHA Scientific Workshop on LEUKEMIC AND CANCER STEM CELLS : MALIGNANT STEM CELLS AND THEIR MICROENVIRONMENT

Second ESH -EHA Scientific Workshop on LEUKEMIC AND CANCER STEM CELLS: MALIGNANT STEM CELLS AND THEIR MICROENVIRONMENT
April 25-27, 2013 – Mandelieu, France

ORGANIZING COMMITTEE : D. Bonnet, C. Chomienne, P. Valent and the EuroCSCT Network
SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE: M. Andreeff, G. Dontu, M.H. Lafage-Proust, M.H. Raaijmakers

The identification of cancer stem cells (CSC) in hematological diseases and in solid tumors, has led to the emergence of a new field in cancer research that is expected to provide insights into oncogenesis and hope for improved survival and cure. Recent research has highlighted the opportunity to target cells of the stem cell’s microenvironment. This workshop will provide the latest findings on the microenvironnement (bone, vasculature …) of the normal and malignant stem cells and the tools to study the links between the stem cell and the cells of its microenvironement.

The audience will rely on the close network of clinicians, biologists, researchers and directors of the private sector installed since the previous meetings, the FP7 EuroCSCT network and increased by the enhanced interest in the field.

The programme of the ESH-EHA Scientific Workshop on Leukemic and Cancer Stem Cells: Malignant Stem Cells and their Microenvironment has been reviewed and approved for CME accreditation by the European Hematology Association CME Unit. The EHA-CME Unit has approved this educational activity for
a maximum number of CME credits. Each physician should only claim credits for time that she/he actually spent in the educational activity.

Topics:

I. HSC/LSC and their niche
II. Solid Cancer Stem Cell and their niche
III. Vascularisation and CSC
IV. Skeletal and HSC niches in bone
V. CSC and metabolism
VI. Tumor/CSC and immunity
VII. CSC and metastasis
