New therapeutic windows for developing effective treatments for metastatic tumors

Cancer that splits and develops in new organs around the body becomes significantly more difficult to fight. Now, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have shown that these metastatic cancers, that spread from the original, adapt their metabolism to the tissue in which they grow. The discovery represents a breakthrough for the understanding of metastatic cancer and is an important piece of the puzzle in the search for more effective treatments.

Scientific gathering aims to integrate advances in cancer and aging research

Institute for Research in Biomedicine - IRB Ageing is the main risk factor for the development of cancer, and the features shared by these two biological processes are increasingly evident. This week the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona) and the BBVA Foundation are holding the 38th Barcelona Biomed conference "Quantitative dynamics of aging and premalignancy". Held at the Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site on 14, 15 and 16 November, the event will be hosting 21 internationally recognized experts in the field who will present their latest breakthroughs.
