23^rd Global Annual Oncologists Meeting July 15-16, 2019 Yokohama, Japan

Track 1: Oncology

Oncology is a branch of medication that arrangements with the anticipation, analysis, and treatment of growth. A therapeutic expert who hones oncology is an oncologist.
The three parts which have enhanced survival in malignancy are:
Avoidance – by decrease of hazard factors like tobacco and liquor utilization
Early conclusion – screening of regular cancers and thorough analysis and arranging
Treatment – multi methodology administration by talk in tumor board and treatment in an exhaustive disease focus.

Track 2: Immunooncology and Cancer Immunotherapy

Cancer immunology is a branch of immunology that studies interactions between the immune system and cancer cells (also called tumors or malignancies). It is a field of research that aims to discover cancer immunotherapies to treat and retard progression of the disease. Cancer immunotherapy also known as Immuno-oncology is the use of the immune system to treat cancer. Immunotherapies can be categorized as active, passive or hybrid (active and passive). The immune response, including the recognition of cancer-specific antigens, forms the basis of targeted therapy (such as vaccines and antibody therapies) and tumor marker-based diagnostic tests.

Track 3: Cancer: Lifestyle and Nutrition

Many factors influence the development of cancer. Over the last 25 years, science has shown that diet, physical activity, and body weight—especially being overweight or obese—are major risk factors for developing certain types of cancer. Around a third of the most common cancers could be prevented through lifestyle changes. The main behavioral and environmental risk factors for cancer mortality in the world are related to diet and physical inactivity, use of addictive substances, sexual and reproductive health and exposure to air pollution and use of contaminated needles. The body’s ability to resist cancer may be helped by following a healthy diet, staying physically active, and avoiding excess body fat.  Cancer and cancer treatments can also affect your body's ability to tolerate certain foods and use nutrients.

Track 4: Oncology Nursing and Care

Oncology Nursing is a field involving practice encompasses the roles of direct caregiver, educator, consultant, administrator, and researcher. Oncology and cancer nursing extends to all care delivery settings where clients experiencing or at risk for developing cancer receive health care, education, and counseling for cancer prevention, screening and detection. It also involves appropriate screenings and other preventative practices, symptom management, care to retain as much normal functioning as possible, and supportive measures upon end of life.

Track 5: Cancer Screening

Unlike diagnostic efforts prompted by symptoms and medical signs, cancer screening involves efforts to detect cancer after it has formed, but before any noticeable symptoms appear. This may involve physical examination, blood or urine tests or medical imaging. 

Cancer screening is not available for many types of cancers. Even when tests are available, they may not be recommended for everyone. Universal screening or mass screening involves screening everyone. Selective screening identifies people who are at higher risk, such as people with a family history. Several factors are considered to determine whether the benefits of screening outweigh the risks and the costs of screening.

These factors include:

Possible harms from the screening test: for example, X-ray images involve exposure to potentially harmful ionizing radiation

The likelihood of the test correctly identifying cancer

The likelihood that cancer is present: Screening is not normally useful for rare cancers.

Track 7: Targeted Cancer Therapies

Targeted therapy is a special type of chemotherapy that exploits differences between normal cells and tumor cells. It's occasionally utilized alone, however frequently other disease medicines are utilized with targeted therapy. As the name proposes, targeted therapies interfere with particular proteins engaged with tumor genesis. Instead of utilizing expansive base growth medications, concentrating on particular atomic changes which are one of a kind to a specific disease, directed tumor treatments might be all the more remedially gainful for some malignancies, including lung, colorectal, breast, lymphoma and leukemia.

Targeted drugs can work to:

Block or turn off chemical signals that tell the cancer cell to grow and divide

Change proteins within the cancer cells so the cells die

Stop making new blood vessels to feed the cancer cells

Trigger your immune system to kill the cancer cells

Carry toxins to the cancer cells to kill them, but not normal cells

Track 9: Pharmaceutical Oncology

A multidisciplinary approach to overhaul has been applied in a variation of settings in clinical oncology, particularly among patients with stomach and colorectal cancer. Multidisciplinary care incorporates various disciplines that existing resources to enhance treatment plans and develops patients’ worth of life. Although the contribution of clinical pharmacists as part of the multidisciplinary team in the oncology department. Cancer Drugs were applied in order to treat the cancer and reducing symptoms of the cancer, and side-effects, such as nausea. Doctors would treat the cancer patients with two or more drugs that were used in chemotherapy and rarely with other medicines, such as steroids. Anti-cancer drugs eliminate cancer cells by preventing growth or obstructing multiplication at certain point in their life cycles. Vaccines were medicines that develops the immune system's natural ability to safeguard the body from “foreign invaders,” that mainly forms an infectious agents that may cause hereditary disease. HPV vaccine and Hepatitis B vaccine were cancer prevention vaccines supported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Cancer treatment vaccines were also called therapeutic vaccines that increase the capability of immune system to acknowledge and abolish the antigens.

Cancer happens to be a leading worldwide problem, with ∼14 million recorded new cases every year. In the USA, for example, over 0.5 million people die from cancer every year, making cancer the 2^nd cause of death. Important is the fact that the cancer prevalence has been increasing mostly due to the increased lifespan of people. While recent changes in lifestyle have an impact on the spread of cancer, about two-thirds of the increase in the rate of cancer is due to longevity.

More than three-quarters of all people diagnosed with cancer in the UK are over the age of 60.3 Adding to the increasing cancer prevalence; there are several reasons that currently lead to an increase in the cancer therapy market. These include the availability and high development cost of better immunotherapy agents, the non-curable and lethal nature of most of the cancer forms, the reduced competition among agents as the use of an agent does not preclude from the concurrent/subsequent use of another one, that cheaper generics are often not considered as available alternatives to newer more costly agents but they are replaced by them, the earlier diagnoses and increased chronic management, the lack of magnitude threshold of drug benefit and increased insurance premiums due to unpredictable disease status. Between the years 2007 and 2013 for instance, the global cancer therapy market more than doubled, the global cancer therapy market increased from $40.0 billion in 2007 to an estimated $47.3 billion by the end of 2008 and $110.6 billion in 2013 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.5%.

This is a high annual growth rate of over 18%. Looking at the targeted therapy separately, which constitutes 45% of the cancer therapy market, this about tripled in within the same duration, increasing from combined market cost value of about $22 billion to almost 70 billion.

The total worldwide cancer drug market approached $14.8 billion in 2000. Growing at an average annual rate (AAGR) of 12.5%, this market exceeded $26.7 billion in 2005.

Established product lines currently constitute of nearly 90% of the global market, but will grow at only a rate of 6.6% AAGR through the period.

Innovative therapies, climbing at an AAGR of 40.2%, reached $8.6 billion in 2005, representing 32% of the total market.

Breast cancer therapy has the largest market with around $11.0 billion in sales in 2007. It increased to $12.0 billion in 2008 and $26.5 billion in 2013, by a CAGR of 16.4%.

Target therapy dominated in 2007 with a 45% share of the total cancer therapy market. This increased to 48% by 2008 and 62.5% in 2013.

 

There are ethical issues surrounding the comparative research on newer therapies for a dangerous disease like cancer, particularly the prospective research, which generally stems from the fact that exposing study participants to increased risk with experimental therapies may not actually be counterbalanced by clinical benefit. In comparative research, participants may, for example, be harmed by receiving a placebo instead of active treatment or, more commonly, participants stand the chance of receiving an experimental cancer therapy that will eventually turn out to be inferior to the best usual therapy available to patients. This is ethically problematic, given the recognized ethical principle that patients should receive the best-proven standard of care whenever feasible.
