Track 1: Gastrointestinal Cancer

Gastro-Intestinal (GI) cancer is a term for the group of cancers that affect the digestive system. Gastrointestinal cancer refers to malignant conditions of the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract) and accessory organs of digestive system. Cancer arises in chronically inflamed gastrointestinal tissues and organs like esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, Colon, rectum and anus is called Gastrointestinal Cancer. The symptoms relate to the organ affected can include obstruction (leading to difficulty swallowing or defecating), abnormal bleeding or other associated problems. The most commonly used screening is colonoscopy Patients with gastrointestinal cancer can be treated with interventional endoscopy, radiation, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, surgery, targeted therapies or a combination of these.

Track 2: Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal cancer is a term for cancer that starts in either the colon or the rectum. Colon cancer and rectal cancer have many features in common. 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, surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy can be effective treatment. Rectal cancer begins in the rectum. It’s also called colorectal cancer because it can occur above the rectum, in the colon or in the rectum. Some people are at higher risk because of a family history of certain genetic disorders such as Lynch syndrome. Colon cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the colon, an organ that is part of the large intestine and the body’s digestive system. Small intestine cancer, also known as small bowel cancer, begins in cells of the small intestine, the part of the digestive system located between the stomach and large intestine. It’s rare, affecting about 9,000 people a year in the United States.

Track 3: Pancreatic Cancer

Pancreatic cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancerous) cells form in the tissues of the pancreas. The pancreas is a gland located behind the stomach and in front of the spine. The pancreas produces digestive juices and hormones that regulate blood sugar. Cells called exocrine pancreas cells produce the digestive juices, while cells called endocrine pancreas cells produce the hormones. Pancreatic cancer begins when abnormal cells within the pancreas grow out of control and form a tumour. The majority of pancreatic cancers start in the exocrine cells. Your pancreas secretes enzymes that aid digestion and hormones that help regulate the metabolism of sugars. Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (pancreatic NETs or PNETs) account for less than 5% of all pancreatic tumours. They may be benign or malignant and they tend to grow slower than exocrine tumours. They develop from the abnormal growth of endocrine (hormone-producing) cells in the pancreas called islet cells. This is why these tumours are sometimes referred to as “islet cell tumours”. Pancreatic cancer often has a poor prognosis, even when diagnosed early. Pancreatic cancer spreads rapidly and is seldom detected in its early stages, which is a major reason why it's a leading cause of cancer death. Signs and symptoms may not appear until pancreatic cancer is quite advanced and complete surgical removal isn't possible.

Track 4: Liver Cancer

Liver cancer is the abnormal growth of liver cells in the liver. Cancer begins 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 cancer. Cancer cells can then become destructive to adjacent normal tissues, and can spread both to other areas of the liver and to organs outside the liver. Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common form of liver cancer in adults. Cancerous cells that arises in the ducts of the liver is called cholangiocarcinoma. The leading cause of liver cancer is cirrhosis due to either hepatitis B, hepatitis C or alcohol.

Track 5: Esophageal Cancer

Esophageal cancer is cancer that occurs in the esophagus, a long hollow muscular tube which runs from your throat to your stomach that moves food and liquids from the throat to the stomach. Cancer starts at the inner layer of the esophagus and can spread throughout the other layers of the esophagus and to other parts of the body (metastasis). The most common types of esophageal cancer are squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Squamous cell carcinoma begins in flat cells lining the esophagus. Adenocarcinoma begins in cells that make and release mucus and other fluids. Esophageal cancer is often diagnosed at an advanced stage because there are no early signs or symptoms.

Track 6: Stomach Cancer

Stomach cancer starts when cancer cells form in the inner lining of the stomach. These cells can grow into a tumor also called gastric cancer, most commonly, gastric cancers originate in the mucosa of the stomach, and disease usually grows slowly over many years. Early symptoms may include heartburn, upper abdominal pain, nausea and loss of appetite. Later signs and symptoms may include weight loss, yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes, vomiting, difficulty swallowing, and blood in the stool among others. The cancer may spread from the stomach to other parts of the body, particularly the liver, lungs, bones, lining of the abdomen and lymph nodes.

Track 7: Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors

A gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GISTs) is a disease in which abnormal cells form in the tissues of the gastrointestinal tract. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are the most 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.

Track 8: Gall Bladder Cancer

Gallbladder cancer is cancer that begins in the gallbladder or in the bile ducts, which are thin tubes that carry bile from the liver. It is a rare cancer that is thought to be related to gallstones building up, which also can lead to calcification of the gallbladder, a condition known as porcelain gallbladder. Porcelain gallbladder is also very rare. Few studies indicate that people with porcelain gallbladder have a high risk of developing gallbladder cancer.

Track 10: Gastrointestinal Cancer: Causes

Generally, cancer begins when a mutation occurs in a cell's DNA. This mutation causes the cell to grow and divide at a rapid rate and to continue living when a normal cell would die. The accumulating cancerous cells form tumor that can invade nearby structures The causes of general Gastrointestinal cancer problems are constipation, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting vary widely malabsorption disorders, gastroenteritis (inflammation of the stomach and small intestine due to viral or bacterial infection from contaminated food, colitis (inflammation of the large intestine that may be triggered by certain foods or bacterial infections), Ulcers in the stomach. Taking certain medicines (especially antidepressants, iron pills, and strong pain medicines such as narcotics) also causes gastrointestinal cancer.

Track 11: Gastrointestinal Cancer: Diagnosis

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

Track 12: Gastrointestinal Cancer: Treatment & Management

Treatment options and recommendations depend on several factors, including the type and stage of cancer, possible side effects, and the patient’s preferences and overall health issues. The most common treatment in different types of gastrointestinal cancers is surgery and radiation therapy. The treatment for esophageal cancer is particularly Tis and T1aN0 by endoscopic ultrasonography may be considered for endoscopic therapy,

New therapeutic strategies with the established treatment regimens are most important and very much 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 13: Gastrointestinal Cancer: Pathogenesis

Pathogenesis of Colorectal Cancer: Sporadic (Nonhereditary) Colorectal Cancer is detected through screening procedures or when the patient presents with symptoms. Screening is important for prevention and should be a part of routine care for adults over the age of 50 who are at low-risk. High-risk individuals (those who are with previous colon cancer, those who have family history of colon cancer, and those who have inflammatory bowel disease or history of colorectal polyps) require careful follow-up. Major advances have been made in our understanding of molecular events leading to the formation of adenomatous polyps and cancer most of the colorectal cancers are sporadic.

Track 14: Biomarkers

A cancer biomarker can be a process substance that indicates the presence of cancer in the body. It may be a molecule secreted by tumor cells or a particular response of the body because of the presence of cancer. Biomarkers may genetic, epigenetic, proteomic, glycomic, or imaging. They can be used for cancer diagnosis, prognosis, medicine, epidemiology of cancer. Those biomarkers that are particularly associated with mutations offer a quantitative way to determine when individuals are predisposed to particular types of cancers.

Track 15: Chemotherapy

Chemotherapeutic agent is the agent used to treat cancer administered in regimens of one or more cycles, combining two or more agents over a period of days to weeks. Intravenous chemotherapy is one way to receive cancer-fighting medicine. Oral chemotherapy is a treatment used to shrink a tumor or kill cancer cells. Arterial chemotherapy infusion of the liver and chemoembolization of the liver are similar procedures that are used for the treatment of cancers in the liver. Adjuvant therapy or care, also called adjunct therapy or adjunctive therapy or care, is therapy that is given in addition to the primary, main, or initial therapy to maximize its effectiveness. Topical chemotherapy is a cream or lotion applied directly to the skin cancer. Different drugs cause different side effects. Certain types of chemotherapy often have specific side effects.

Track 17: Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy is treatment that uses certain parts of a person’s immune system to fight diseases such as cancer. This can be done in a couple of ways: Own immune system stimulation, Biological therapy or biotherapy. Additional research is currently under way to: understand why immunotherapy is effective in some patients but not in other’s who have the same cancer, expand the use of immunotherapy to more types of cancer, increase the effectiveness of immunotherapy by combining it with other types of cancer treatment, such as targeted therapy, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.

Track 18: Gastrointestinal Cancer: Risk Factor and Prevention

Different gastrointestinal cancers have different risk factors. Some risk factors, like smoking, can be changed. Others, like a person’s age or family history, can’t be changed. Having a risk factor, or even several risk factors, does not mean that you will get the cancer. And many people who get the disease may have few or no known risk factors. Few gastrointestinal cancer risk factors include cigarette smoking, obesity, chronic pancreatitis, eating foods preserved through pickling or that contain nitrates, infection with Helicobacter pylori, alcohol abuse, inflammatory bowel disease, adenomatous polyps

While no cancer is completely preventable, the number of new cases of cancer in a group or population is lowered. Hopefully, this will lower the number of deaths caused by cancer. It is estimated that changes in diet and physical activities could reduce the incidence of gastrointestinal Cancer by up to 75%.

Track 19: Oncology Nursing and Primary care

With the current challenges in the healthcare system, patients and professionals are uncertain about the role, responsibilities, and communication patterns of primary care professionals during cancer care. Oncology and primary care nurses should be surveyed to attain current and preferred roles in cancer care across the care continuum. Who coordinates the care, which makes the referrals, who manages the comorbidities? What is the optimal interface between oncology and primary care nurses in care delivery? How does the environment of care support or impede bidirectional communication among providers and with the patient? We need to test interventions to determine what model produces the best patient-centered outcomes, the best coordinated care. We need to document that coordinated care improves outcomes

Track 23: Entrepreneurs Investment Meet

A key ingredient in successful entrepreneurship is self-knowledge. Gastrointestinal Cancer 2016 aims to bring together all existing and budding bio entrepreneurs to share experiences and present new innovations and challenges in Oncological community. Each year, over a million companies are started in the world with about 5–10 of them classified as high technology companies. Turning ideas into business ventures is tricky and the opportunity-recognition step is critical in new venture creation. Although life scientists are typically the founders of biotech companies, studies have shown that the 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 day community-wide conference will be a highly interactive forum that will bring experts in areas ranging from oncology to signaling pathways to novel therapeutic approaches to the scientific hub. 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 topics of Gastrointestinal Cancers. Moreover, oncologists often develop an interest and expertise in the management of particular types of gastrointestinal cancer.

Summary:

Colorectal cancer is a word used for cancer that starts in the colon or the rectum. These cancers can also be referred separately as colon cancer or rectal cancer, depending upon where they start. Colon cancer and the rectal cancer have many characters in common. Most of the colorectal cancers develop slowly over several years. Before the development of a cancer, a growth of tissue or tumour generally begins as a non-cancerous polyp on the inner lining of the colon or rectum. A tumour is an abnormal tissue and can be benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer). A polyp is a benign and non-cancerous tumour. Some polyps can change into cancer but not all the polyps do. The chance of changing a polyp into a cancer depends on the kind of polyp

Colorectal cancer is the 3rd most commonly diagnosed cancer in Canada (excluding non-melanoma skin cancers). It is the 2nd leading cause of death from cancer in men and the 3rd leading cause of death from cancer in women in Canada.

Incidence is the total number of new cases of cancer. Mortality is the number of deaths due to cancer.

It is estimated that in 2015:

25,100 Canadians will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer. This represents 13% of all new cancer cases in 2015.
9,300 Canadians will die from colorectal cancer. This represents 12% of all cancer deaths in 2015.
14,000 men will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer and 5,100 will die from it.
11,100 women will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer and 4,200 will die from it.
On average, 69 Canadians will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer every day.
On average, 25 Canadians will die from colorectal cancer every day.

The death rate (the number of deaths per 100,000 people per year) because of the colorectal cancer has been reducing in both men and women for more than 20 years. There are many comparable reasons for this. One is those polyps are found by screening and removed before they develop into cancers. Screening allows more colorectal cancers to be found earlier when the disease is easier to cure. In addition, the treatment for colorectal cancer has improved from the last several years. Therefore, there are more than 1 million survivors of colorectal cancer in the United States.

Survival rates are often used by doctors as a typical way of discussing a person's prognosis. The 5-year observed survival rate mentions to the percentage of patients who live at least 5 years after their cancer is diagnosed. Certainly, many people live much longer than 5 years and many are cured.

Relative survival rates, like those in the table, compare the observed survival rate with what would be expected for people without the cancer. This helps to prevent the deaths caused by something besides cancer and is a better way to see the effect that the cancer has on survival.

In order to get survival rates of five years, doctors have to look at the people who were treated years ago and the Improvements in treatment so that it may result in more favourable outlook for people now being diagnosed with colorectal cancer.

Survival rates are often based on previous outcomes of large number of people who had the disease, but they were unable to predict what will happen in any of the particular person's case. Knowing the form and the phase of a person's cancer is important in estimating their outlook. But many other causes can also affect a person's outlook, such as the position of the cancer, the genetic variations in the cancer cells, the treatment received, and how the cancer responds to treatment. Even when we take these factors into consideration survival rates are at best coarse estimates.

Survival rates for colon cancer, by stage:

The numbers below come from the National Cancer Institute's SEER database, looking at people diagnosed with colon cancer between 2004 and 2010.

Figure: 1

*These numbers are correct: patients with stage IIIA or IIIB cancers have better survival than those with stage IIB cancers.

These statistics are based on a previous version of the staging system. In that version, there was no stage IIC (those cancers were grouped considered stage IIB). Also, some cancers that are now considered stage IIIC were classified as stage IIIB, while some other cancers that are now considered stage IIIB were classified as stage IIIC.

Survival rates for rectal cancer, by stage:

The numbers below come from the National Cancer Institute's SEER database, looking at people diagnosed with rectal cancer between 2004 and 2010.

*These numbers are correct; survival was better for some stage III cancers than for some stage II cancers.

These statistics are based on a previous version of the staging system. In that version, there was no stage IIC (those cancers were considered stage IIB). Also, some cancers that are now considered stage IIIC were classified as stage IIIB, while some other cancers that are now considered stage IIIB were classified as stage IIIC.

Scope and Importance of Colorectal Cancer Research:

Regular colorectal cancer screening or testing is one of the most powerful weapons for preventing colorectal cancer. The regularity rate of colorectal cancer has been falling for about the last 20 years. This is expected to be in large part due to screening (looking for cancer in people who have no symptoms of the disease). The diagnosis of colorectal tests can also find polyps, which will be able to be removed before they develop into cancers. The Research of Colorectal cancer involves the study of specific genetic alterations which are associated with the development and progress of colorectal cancer. By aiming on a specific area of the chromosome associated with colon cancer, called 20-q, we can detect 10 possible candidate genes that could potentially play significant roles in colon cancer. Some of these findings may lead to new approaches in the treatment of colorectal cancer.

By assessing Avastin, a growth inhibitor in cancer cells, it led to the first clinical translational study which evaluates its efficacy on colon cancer patients. In addition, EIF funding was used to help establish the community-based Clinical Cancer Research Network at UCLA, which provides critically important systems to translate new and innovative ideas into clinical testing. Evaluating the role of prostaglandins such as PGE2, a signalling molecule produced by cancer cells in very high levels, and identified several new genes regulated by it. One of those genes is called NR4A2, which has been shown to be instrumental in controlling cancer cell death. Another newly identified gene called GRO alpha was shown to inhibit colorectal tumour growth upon activation. These findings could be potentially important clinically because antibodies directed against these genes may be useful for the treatment of patients with colorectal cancer. According to the scientists, carrying out this kind of experiment is very high risk and would not be supported by other funding mechanisms. Thus, the support from EIF has been crucial. Increased levels of folic acids and vitamin-D are two of the most promising factors which could prevent colon cancer. Other factors include, being physically active and fit, avoid smoking, and reduce red meat consumption. Researchers have developed a test that can find areas of colon cancer spread in nearby lymph nodes that wouldn’t have been found with the test normally used. By recognizing a kind of RNA that is found in colon cancer but not in normal lymph node cells, this may help identify patients who have a higher stage of colon cancer than originally suspected, and who might benefit from chemotherapy after surgery.

Much of our understanding of the fundamental genetic and molecular biological processes driving colorectal cancer pathogenesis has come from studies of somatic mutations in sporadic, non-inherited colorectal cancers and germ line mutations in familial and inherited colorectal cancers. The current genetic-based paradigm of colorectal tumourogenesis as described by Vogelstein et al. is partially based on molecular analysis of sporadic primary colorectal cancer in which compounding genetic mutations lead to the transformation of a benign polyp into invasive colorectal cancer. Studies of germ line mutations found in inherited forms of colorectal cancer, such as familial adenomatous polyposis and hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), also helped to shed light on additional genes involved in malignant transformation. One by one, tumour suppressor genes, DNA mismatch repair genes and proto-oncogenes have been identified and their roles elucidated in the progression from normal colonic epithelium to carcinoma.

With the advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology and its associated massive output in DNA sequence, the newfound ability to re-sequence individual cancer genomes opens a new chapter in biomedical cancer research with the potential for future tailoring of medical care. In this article, we will first discuss the current methods for prognosticating and predicting response to chemotherapy in colorectal cancer with a focus on current genetic-based biomarkers. We will then examine the advances in NGS technology and discuss their application to future colorectal cancer research and clinical practice.

Market Value on Colorectal Cancer Research:

The global in-vitro colorectal cancer screening tests market was valued at USD 559.3 million in 2014 and is likely to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% over the forecast period. Growing incidences of colon and rectal cancer and the introduction of novel screening tests employing genetic testing are the major factors expected to drive the in-vitro colorectal cancer screening tests market over the forecast period. The introduction of government regulations aimed at mandatory application of cancer screening tests, growing demand for novel minimally invasive tests which screen for colorectal cancer using DNA and genetic biomarkers and the increasing prevalence of colorectal cancer are expected to fuel the growth of the market for in-vitro colorectal cancer screening tests. Globally, colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most prevalent form of cancer. CRC accounts for almost a tenth of all cancer incidences worldwide. This incidence has only been increasing over the last couple of years. Furthermore, the introduction of novel colorectal tests which use biomarkers such as tumour M2-PK marker or which screen for colorectal cancer using methylated genes for screening will witness a growth in market demand throughout the forecast period. The primary factor responsible for this shift in trend can be attributed to by the increased accuracy of screening which these newer genetic tests have to offer. Its market is expected to reach an estimated value of over USD 250.0 million by 2020. According to a report published by W.H.O cancer fatalities are expected to increase from 14 million in 2012 to 22 million in 2020.

This report provides annualized colorectal cancer therapeutics market revenue, cost of therapy, and treatment usage patterns across eight major markets, namely the US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, Japan and China, from 2013 and forecast to 2023. Key topics covered include pipeline analysis, strategic competitor assessment, unmet needs, remaining commercial opportunities, and current and future players.

Market Growth of Colorectal Cancer Research in the last and upcoming ten years:

Colorectal Cancer (CRC) research market value will increase at a moderate Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 1.8%, from $8.3 billion in 2013 to $9.4 billion by 2020.
