GI Cancer:

A tumor starts when normal cells undergo abnormal growth out of control. A cancerous tumor is malignant and can grow and spread to other parts of the body. A tumor can origin in any part of the GI tract. There are different types of GI tumors that includes gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST).GISTs are different from more common types of GI tumors because of the type of tissue in which they start. GISTs belong to a group of cancers called soft-tissue sarcomas. Soft-tissue sarcomas develops into tissues that support and connect the body. The sarcoma cells are resembling the cells that are holding the body with the fat cells, nerves , muscles, tendons, joints, lymph vessels , and blood vessels.

Track 1: Gastrointestinal Cancer

Gastro-Intestinal (GI) cancer is the group of cancers that affect the digestive system. This includes cancers of the esophagus, gallbladder, liver, pancreas, stomach, small intestine, bowel (large intestine or colon and rectum), and anusGI cancer is the most common form of cancer. Cancerous tumors are malignant, which can spread into nearby tissues. In addition these tumors grow into some cancer cells can break off and travel to distant places in the body through the blood or the lymph system and form new tumors. Signs and manifestations of gastrointestinal growth incorporates sickness, spewing, visit indigestion, loss of hunger, early, bleeding stools, jaundice, excessive weariness, Weight misfortune not related with changes in eat less, augmented liver, stomach torment.

Track 2: Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal cancer  starts in either the colon or the rectum. Colon cancer and cancer of the rectum can begin as a small polyp, detectable through regular cancer screening, such as colonoscopy. Colon cancer symptoms include a change in bowel habits like bleeding or blood in stools, but often there are no symptoms. With early detection effective treatment is possible.  Some people are at higher risk because of genetic disorders such as Lynch syndrome

Track 3: Pancreatic Cancer

Pancreatic cancer is a malignant cells in the tissues of the pancreas. Pancreatic cancer begins when abnormal cells in the pancreas grow out of control. The majority starts in the exocrine cells. Pancreas secretes enzymes that aid digestion and hormones that help regulate the metabolism of sugars. Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pancreatic NETs or PNETs) account for less than 5% of all pancreatic tumors.  No signs and symptoms may appear until pancreatic cancer is quite advanced and complete surgical removal is not possible.

Track 4: Liver Cancer

Liver cancer is the abnormal growth of liver cells. Cancer origin in the hepatocytes, the main type of liver cell. Other liver cell types infrequently can become cancerous but the most common liver cancer is hepatocellular cancerHepatocellular carcinoma is the most general form of  liver cancer in adults. The top leading cause of liver cancer is cirrhosis due to either hepatitis B, hepatitis C or alcohol.

Track 5: Esophageal Cancer

Esophageal cancer occurs in the esophagus. A long hollow muscular tube runs from throat to stomach which moves food and liquids from the throat to the stomach. Cancer origin at the inner layer of the esophagus and spread to the other layers of the esophagus and also to other parts of the body (metastasis). The general types of esophageal cancer are squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Esophageal cancer is often diagnosed at later stage because there are no early signs or symptoms.

Track 6: Stomach Cancer

Stomach cancer begins form the inner lining of the stomach. They can grow into a tumor also which is called as gastric cancer. Mostly gastric cancers originate in the mucosa of the stomach, and disease usually grows over many years. Early symptom includes heartburn, upper abdominal pain, nausea and loss of appetite. Later signs includes weight loss, yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes, vomiting, difficulty swallowing, and blood in the stool among others. Stomach cancer may spread from the stomach to other parts of the body such as liver, lungs, bones, lining of the abdomen and lymph nodes. A gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GISTs) is a disease in which abnormal cells form the tissues of the gastrointestinal tract. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are the common mesenchymal neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract. GISTs arise in the smooth muscle pacemaker interstitial cell of Cajal, which is more common in the stomach and small intestine but may be found anywhere in or near the GI tract also.

Track 7: Gall Bladder Cancer

Gallbladder cancer starts in the gallbladder or bile ducts. Gallbladder cancer is a rare cancer that is to be related to gallstones building up. It lead to calcification of the gallbladder condition known as porcelain gallbladder which is very rare. Some studies find that people with porcelain gallbladder are having a high risk of developing gallbladder cancer.

Track 8: Anal cancer

Anal cancer is a malignant cells formed in the tissues of the anus. Infected with the human papillomavirus (HPV) will increases the risk of developing anal cancer. Signs & symptoms of anal cancer includes bleeding from the anus or rectum or a lump near the anus. Rarely itchy bottom can be a symptom of a gastrointestinal cancer, anal cancer or bowel cancer. Many cases of itchy bottom are not caused by cancer. Possible symptoms of anal cancer is rectal bleeding. Tests that can examine the rectum and anus are used to find and diagnose anal cancer.

Track 9: Gastrointestinal Cancer: Diagnosis

A definitive way of diagnosis of most types of gastrointestinal cancers biopsy is preferred. If  biopsy is not possible, the doctor may suggest other tests that may help to make  diagnosis. Imaging tests may be used to find whether cancer has spread. Early diagnosis of gastric cancer is very difficult because mostly patients are asymptomatic during the early stages. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy is the preferred diagnostic method for evaluation of patients with whom stomach cancer is suspected. Radiographic study provides preliminary information that  help the physician to determine if a gastric lesion is present and whether the lesion has benign or malignant features.

Track 10: Advanced Gastrointestinal Cancer Therapeutics

The advancement in cancer treatment which is leading to terminate cancer forever. This will include Radiation, Surgery, Chemotherapy in advance such as using nanomaterial and advanced automated techniques.

Track 11: Gastrointestinal Cancer Chemotherapy

Cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation and surgery are another potential source of cancer pain. The treatment of cancer by  using  chemical substances, especially treatment by cytotoxic and other drugs.

Track 12: Gastrointestinal Cancer Surgery

Cancer treatments including chemotherapy, radiation and surgery are the potential source of cancer pain. Surgery will be painful, and it may take some time to recover.

Track 13: Gastrointestinal Cancer Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy for cancer uses high-energy radiation to shrink tumors and kill cancer cells  used for cancer treatment. Radiation may leave behind  burning sensation or painful scars as well.

Track 14: Gastrointestinal Cancer Immunotherapy

The well known application of cancer treatments is cancer immunotherapy, which utilizes the immune system as a treatment for cancer.

Track 15: Gastrointestinal Cancer: Treatment & Management

Treatment of cancer and management depends on several factors which includes the types and stages of cancer, possible side effects, patient’s preferences and overall health issues. The most general treatment in different types of gastrointestinal cancers is surgery and radiation therapy. The treatment for esophageal cancer is by endoscopic ultrasonography may be considered for endoscopic therapy.

New therapeutic strategies with the established treatment techniques are most important and must needed in gastrointestinal cancer it represents a novel approach to the management of different types of gastrointestinal cancer, so the pathological development of vascular supply is a major step for tumor growth and may affect its prognosis.

Track 16: Gastrointestinal Cancer Clinical Trials

Clinical trials research studies involve people. Through clinical trials, doctors find new and advanced ways to improve the treatments for cancer and quality of life for the people with disease. Researchers do cancer clinical trials to test their new research works to treat cancer.

 

Track 17: Cancer Vaccine

The main goal of Cancer vaccine is to help and treat cancer or to help keep it away from coming back after treatments. A cancer vaccine  either treats existing cancer or prevents the cancer from developing. Vaccines that are able to treat existing cancer are therapeutic cancer vaccines and the others are "autologous" vaccines which is  being prepared from samples like blood taken from the patient. They are specific to that patient only. Few researchers claimed that cancerous cells arises routinely are destroyed by the immune system mostly but tumors form when the immune system fails to destroy them.

Track 18: Business Investigators Meet

Ingredient for successful entrepreneurship is self-knowledge. Gastrointestinal Cancer 2018 objective is to bring all existing and budding bio entrepreneurs together to share present and experiences new challenges and innovations in Cancer community. Every year, over a million companies are started in the world with about 5–10 of them known as high technology companies. Changing ideas into business ventures is tricky opportunity-recognition step critical in new venture creation. Even though life scientists are the founders of biotech companies, studies have shown that  most successful high tech start-ups are founded by a team of two to three individuals with mixed backgrounds, substantial industry experience and a very clear market and product focus at founding. This two days conference will be a highly interactive forum that will bring experts in areas ranging from Cancer to genomic analysis to novel therapeutic techniques and approaches to terminate cancer. In addition to our outstanding speakers, we will also showcase short talks and poster presentations from submitted abstracts. The speakers will discuss about all the various sub-topics of Gastrointestinal Cancers and Cancer Therapeutics.

The remaining types of GISTs mostly start in the rectum, colon, and esophagus. Most people are diagnosed between the ages of 50 and 80.

Every year 13,000 men and 8,000 women in the United States are diagnosed gastric cancer. The cancer usually begins in the cells of the inner layers of the stomach and sometimes spread deeply into the stomach wall. Stomach cancer most commonly affects the elderly  two-third of people those who are over the age of 65. It can be difficult to diagnose in its early stages, so it is often diagnosed late.
