Description
This 1-day meeting will bring together both established and young career cancer biologists, epidemiologists, geneticists, molecular biologists, oncologists and chronobiologists to exchange information and determine the systemic, cellular and molecular mechanisms by which circadian disruption increases cancer incidence and cancer growth rate. Participants will discuss cutting-edge, novel scientific and clinical research on the complex relationship between circadian rhythm disruption and cancer. The potential implications of this comorbidity for therapy and even for prevention will be also addressed.
