Seed and Soil: In Vivo Models of Metastasis

We invite you to join us at the 3rd joint EACR-MRS Conference on Seed and Soil: In Vivo Models of Metastasis. This is a joint conference organised by the European Association for Cancer Research (EACR) and Metastasis Research Society (MRS). Metastasis formation is responsible for over 90% of cancer patient deaths, largely due to the general ineffectiveness of therapies against detectable metastatic tumors. There is a crucial need to mechanistically understand the cellular, tissue and whole-body processes driving metastasis formation in order to identify effective therapeutic strategies. This conference will give an in-depth overview of our current knowledge on cancer, stromal, and metabolism-centred mechanisms promoting metastasis formation presented by world-leading researchers in the field. The meeting will conclude with a discussion forum on how to translate emerging findings on metastasis into patient benefit.
