Track 1: Radiation oncology
Radiation oncology is a medical treatment that is an essential part of a multidisciplinary approach to cancer treatment. It uses high energy photons most frequently delivered through a linear accelerator. Therapeutic x-rays are not at all painful and invisible and are used to treat a number of different cancers. The linear accelerator is protected within a cancer center and a team of radiation oncologists, nurses, radiation therapists and medical physicists will tell you about radiation therapy as a treatment option, assess you, plan and deliver your treatment as well as help you with any side effects you experience.

Track 2: Tumors heterogeneity
Tumors heterogeneity gives the observation that different tumor cells can show different morphological and phenotypic types, like cellular morphology, gene expression, metabolism, motility, proliferation, and metastatic potential. This phenomenon can be both between tumors and within tumors. A level of intra-tumor heterogeneity is a simple outcome of the imperfection of DNA replication. The heterogeneity of cancer cells can show challenges in designing effective treatment strategies. Research into understanding and characterizing heterogeneity can allow for a better understanding of the causes and progression of disease.

Track 5: Anticancer drug
Anticancer drug is also popularly known as antineoplastic drug. These are the drugs that are effective in the treatment of malignant, or cancerous, disease. There are several classifications of anticancer drugs like, alkylating agents, antimetabolites, natural products, and hormones. Also, there are a number of drugs that don't fall in those classes but that show anticancer activity and can be used in the treatment of malignant disease. The term chemotherapy frequently is identified with the use of anticancer drugs, although it more accurately refers to the use of chemical compounds to treat disease generally. One of the first drugs that was used clinically in modern medicine for the treatment of cancer was the alkylating agent mechlorethamine, a nitrogen mustard that in the 1940s was found to be effective in treating lymphomas. In 1956 the antimetabolite methotrexate became the first drug to cure a solid tumour, and the following year 5-fluorouracil was introduced as the first of a new class of tumour-fighting compounds known as pyrimidine analogs. Since then many anticancer drugs have been developed and used with much success.

Track 8: Robotic surgery for cancer treatment
Robotic surgery systems have extra robotic arms remotely controlled by surgeons. One of the robot arms has a laparoscope. Other arms grip small surgical instruments that can fit into an incision less than an inch long. The surgeon sits at a console with 3D views of the tumor. A joystick similar to that for a video game precisely controls each robotic arm. While the robot arms are doing the actual surgery, they still require direct input from the surgeon and cannot be operated without human intervention. Robotic surgery has the benefit of less surgeon fatigue and eliminating hand tremor during long, complicated procedures.
MD Anderson uses robotic surgery for removing the prostate or kidneys. It can also be used for removing tumors in the uterus, lung and colon.

Neuro-oncology is the investigation of mind and spinal string neoplasms, a large number of which are (at any rate in the end) extremely risky and dangerous. Among the dangerous cerebrum diseases, gliomas of the brainstem and pons, glioblastoma multiforme, and high-grade (profoundly anaplastic) astrocytoma are among the worst. In these cases, untreated endurance as a rule adds up to a couple of months, and endurance with flow radiation and chemotherapy therapies may expand that time from around a year to eighteen months, conceivably at least two, contingent upon the patient's condition, insusceptible capacity, therapies utilized, and the particular kind of threatening mind neoplasm. Medical procedure may now and again be healing, in any case, when in doubt, dangerous cerebrum tumors will in general recover and rise out of reduction effectively, particularly profoundly threatening cases. In such cases, the objective is to extract as a large part of the mass (tumor cells) and however much of the tumor edge as could reasonably be expected without imperiling essential capacities or other significant intellectual capacities. The Journal of Neuro-Oncology is the longest persistently distributed diary in the field and fills in as a main reference to those rehearsing in the space of neuro-oncology.

Track 11: Skin Cancer
Skin cancers are a type of cancer which starts from the skin. They occur due to the development of abnormal cells that have the ability to infringe or spread to different parts of the body.
There are three types of skin cancers namely:
Basal-cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC) and melanoma. The first two, alongside variety of less common skin cancers, are referred to as non-melanoma carcinoma. Basal-cell cancer increases very slowly but it can damage the tissue around it also is unlikely to spread to distant areas or end in death. It often shows as a painless area of skin that can be shiny with small blood vessels running over it or may present as a raised area with an ulcer. Squamous-cell skin cancer is more likely to spread. It usually presents as a tough lump with a scaly top but can also form an ulcer. Melanomas are the most aggressive. There are signs like a mole that has changed in size, shape, color, has irregular edges, has more than one color, is itchy or bleeds.

Track 13: Screening tests
Screening tests are a way of finding cancer at an early stage, before any symptoms are seen. When abnormal tissue or cancer is found early, treatment is easy and will be fast. If symptoms appear, the cancer may have grown and spread which can make the cancer treatment difficult.
It is important to recollect that when your doctor suggests a screening test, it doesn't always mean he or she thinks you've got cancer. Screening tests are done once you haven't any cancer symptoms.
Screening tests include the following:
Physical exam and history: An exam of the body to see general signs of health, including checking for signs of disease, like lumps or anything that seems unusual. A history of the patient’s health habits and past illnesses and coverings also will be taken.
Laboratory tests: Medical procedures that test samples of tissue, blood, urine, or other substances within the body.
Imaging procedures: Procedures that make pictures of areas inside the body.
Genetic tests: Laboratory tests during which cells or tissue are analyzed to see for changes in genes or chromosomes. These changes could also be a symbol that an individual has or is in danger of getting a selected disease or condition.
Track 14: Brain tumor
Brain tumor in which collection, or mass, of abnormal cells in your brain. Your skull, which encloses your brain, is extremely rigid so any growth inside such a restricted space like skull can cause major problems to brain. Brain tumors could also be cancerous (malignant) or noncancerous (benign). Like benign or malignant tumors grow, they can cause the pressure inside your skull to increase which can be a cause of brain damage, and it may be life-threatening if not treated on time.
Brain tumors are of two types primary or secondary. A primary brain tumor is originates with in human brain. Many primary brain tumors are benign. A secondary brain tumors , also referred to as a metastatic brain tumors , occurs when cancer cells spread to your brain from another organ, like your lung or breast.

Track 15: Metastatic Cancer
Cancer that spreads from where it began to a foreign a part of the body is named metastatic cancer. For several sorts of cancer, it's also called stage IV (4) cancer. the method by which cancer cells spread to other parts of the body is named metastasis. It is seen that when it is observed under a microscope and tested in other ways, metastatic cancer cells have features like that of the first cancer and not just like the cells within the place where the metastatic cancer is found. This is often how doctors can tell that it's cancer that has spread from another a part of the body. Metastatic cancer has an equivalent name because the primary cancer. For instance, carcinoma that spreads to the lung is named metastatic carcinoma, not carcinoma. It’s treated as stage IV carcinoma, not as carcinoma. There are many times when people are diagnosed with metastatic cancer and doctors have no idea about where it started. This sort of cancer is named cancer of unknown primary origin, or CUP.
