About This Webinar
This webinar is the third in a series focusing on the cancer pathways that support tumor development, the emerging research in identifying and targeting these pathways, and innovations in the development of increasingly effective cancer therapy options. Recent advances in our understanding of cancer have revealed that the disease cannot be understood through simple analysis of genetic mutations within the cancerous cells. Instead, tumors should be considered as complex tissues in which the cancer cells communicate directly and indirectly with the surrounding cellular microenvironment and evolve traits that promote their own survival. In this webinar we will explore how cancer cells are able to reprogram their metabolic pathways to enable energy production under conditions that are disabling to most normal cells. Of particular interest are how tumor-specific metabolic changes promote oncogenic progression and how these changes can be exploited to develop more effective treatment options.
During the webinar, the speakers will: • Outline the major metabolic changes seen in tumor tissue • Explain how specific metabolic pathways can be targeted during therapeutic interventions • Introduce the role of autophagy and cell death in tumor survival and progression • Answer your questions live during the broadcast! <!– • Have their questions answered live by the panelists!
