Introduction
We are glad to welcome you back in Marseille for the 2nd Annual
Conference on Brain Metastases. The successful edition of last year led us
to organize once again this conference with a more European perspective
this year just before EANO meeting.
Brain metastasis is a major public health problem. An alarming
incidence of brain metastasis in patients with otherwise well controlled
systemic cancer has drawn attention to this important, yet understudied,
dimension of cancer problem. The prognosis of patients with brain
metastasis is still poor and overall survival is around few months. Our
ability to address this growing problem is hampered by meager advances
in the treatment of brain metastasis, an elemental understanding of
pathophysiological forces underlying brain metastases, inadequate model
systems, reagents, and biospecimens, and a systematic failure to consider
the impact of the blood brain barrier on drug distribution, as critical
parameter in guiding cancer drug development.
One of the objectives of the second edition of the International
Conference on Brain Metastases Research and Emerging therapies
will be to described the clinical problem, identify the critical points of
therapeutic failure and summarize the current state of knowledge of the
genetics and biology of brain metastases. The overarching goal of the
meeting is to generate a set of research priorities that would stimulate
integrated scientific and clinical investigation directed at understanding
basic processes of brain metastasis and translating such insights to clinical
care as rapidly possible.
Canceropôle PACA will gather during this specific thematic
meeting the best world known specialists of the domain under the
direction of Prof. Philippe Métellus, Dr Anthony Gonçalves, Prof. Fabrice
Barlési and Dr Agnès Richard-Tallet, from the Neurosurgery and Medical
Oncology Department, at the University Hospital La Timone in Marseille
and the Institut Paoli-Calmette Cancer Center.
We wish you a pleasant stay in Marseille and foremost safe travels.
