 \nAfter the 2011 successful ISREC Symposium on various aspects of Cancer a
 t large\, we are pleased to announce our more focused CONFERENCE ON METAST
 ASIS in early 2014 for which we invite you to participate. While the letha
 l impact of acquiring this hallmark capability during tumor progression ha
 s long been recognized\, only in recent years have we begun to learn about
  the specific determinants that govern the process of tumor growth at seco
 ndary sites.\nThus\, the focus of this conference will be on the heterotyp
 ic tumor micro-environment of metastatic lesions\, as well as the prospect
  for and progress toward therapeutic targeting of metastatic lesions. Topi
 cs to be covered include the ontogeny of disseminated cancer cells that ha
 ve landed in secondary sites in the course of establishing themselves as m
 acroscopic tumors\; reprogramming\, recruiting\, and organizing metastatic
  tumor micro-environment\; mutationally and epigenetically evolving to suc
 cessfully colonize\; the immunobiology of metastatic lesions\; novel thera
 pies for metastases\, including immune-based.\nSessions\n•    Dormanc
 y\, latency\, and escape of disseminated tumor cells and micro-metastases\
 n•    Organ-specific factors governing metastatic outgrowth\n•  
   Parameters of macro-metastatic microenvironments\n•    Cancer cell
  intrinsic factors promoting metastatic colonization\n•    Immunobiol
 ogy of metastatic lesions\n•    Frontiers of metastatic mechanisms an
 d therapies
