Abstract:

Cancer is the leading cause of death around the world. There are approximately 12 million new cases diagnosed each year and this number is continued to increase. Cancer is known to arise from a series of genetic alterations, in some case also in inherited predisposition. In this talk, recent advances in understanding the molecular basis of cancer and their potential for the development of early diagnosis and new therapies will be presented. Challenges and future perspectives will be discussed.
