16^th World Glycobiology Congress

Cancer Science

Cancer Science aims to present research that has a significant clinical impact on oncologists or that may alter the disease concept of a tumor. Researchers are working to understand the process by which cancer spreads known as metastasis with the aim of developing new treatments that prevent cancer spread or target metastatic tumours. Scientists believe the glycolipid complexity arises in part because tumours develop through a process of evolution by natural selection just as species of animals and plants have done.
