A Talk on Cancer Metastasis
We are pleased to invite you to Talk Program to be held on 22nd December, 2013 organized by Biotechnology Society of Nepal. This program is being organized in association with Central Department of Biotechnology, Tribhuvan University, Krtipur, Nepal & Science Development Initiative Nepal.
Details of The Program:
Title of the Talk : Identifying genes that contributes to cancer metastasis to the brain metastasis from primary breast tumours
Abstract:
Cancers that originate in one part of the body (primary tumours) can develop the ability to spread to other organs (metastasise) producing new, often fatal, secondary tumours, which we refer as metastasis. Tumour metastasis to the brain is a common and deadly development in certain cancers; 40-50 % of lung tumours and 15-20% of breasts tumours metastasise to the brain. Once a primary tumour has formed, additional changes to the DNA of the tumour cells are required before it can migrate to, and grow inside, the brain. The contribution that gene silencing through epigenetic mechanisms plays in metastasis to the brain is not well understood We are particularly interested in determining the role that gene promoter methylation (a common mechanism of gene deregulation in tumour formation) plays in primary tumour metastasis to the brain. We have screened genes for promoter methylation by Combined Bisulphite and Restriction Analysis (CoBRA) in metastatic brain tumours and their associated primary breast tumours.
During the talk, we will discuss the following:
The basics of cancer and metastasis
How DNA methylation works and contributes to tumour origin
Metastatic cascades and Metastatic brain tumours
Our Methodologies to study brain metastases
Findings, conclusions and future prospects
