DESCRIPTION:The ISREC Symposia take place biannually as part of the Life S
 ciences Symposium series of the School of Life Sciences at the Swiss Feder
 al Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL). The theme of the 2011 symposiu
 m is centered upon an organizing principle – the hallmarks of cancer –
  that has proved instructive for appreciating underlying commonalities to 
 the vast number of disparate and complex human cancers.  The premise\, lai
 d out by Hanahan and Weinberg in 2000\, is that most lethal tumors acquire
 \, by different ways and means\, a common set of six capabilities that are
  collectively necessary for tumors to grow and disseminate. The realizatio
 n that such distinctive and quasi-independent functional capabilities are 
 generally important for most tumors is beginning to influence cancer thera
 peutics\, by presenting the concept of dual targeting with drugs aimed at 
 multiple hallmark capabilities\, seeking to improve the extent and duratio
 n of clinical benefit above and beyond what is possible with a single drug
 .  Additionally\, the scope of the hallmarks concept is expanding to inclu
 de emerging hallmarks such as the roles of inflammation in cancer\, and of
  altered metabolism to fuel tumor growth.  \n\nThe conference will have le
 ctures from renowned cancer scientists on the latest results and their imp
 lications\, and about horizons of cancer research that have promise to lea
 d to new mechanism-based therapies for human cancer.
