“Signal transduction in the development of cancer in association with chronic inflammation and the latest therapeutic approach against cancer” Inflammation plays a critical role in the cancer development, metastasis and malignancy. Chronic inflammation promotes tumor development, progression, and metastatic dissemination, as well as resistance to chemotherapy. Therefore, regulation of inflammation is critical for the treatment of cancer. In this lecture, fundamental techniques for cancer diagnosis, latest therapeutic approach for cancer, including pharmacological approach, are reviewed. Information on ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion) of anti-cancer drug and brief history of the discovery of natural compounds for cancer treatment will be provided. At the end of the lecture, our recent research work focusing on cancer stem cells will be introduced. |
| Expected Learning |
|
This lecture will be provided based on the fundamental biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, physiology, pharmacology in order to let you know the clinical and basic research regarding cancer and inflammation. |
