Symposium « Neuro-oncology meets Neuroscience »

9 décembre - 10 décembre

NEURO-ONCOLOGY MEETS NEUROSCIENCE

 

The Bordeaux Cancer Neuroscience (BCN) Initiative

Symposium organisé par Andreas Bikfalvi, Ahmad Sharanek, Thomas Mathivet, Lucie Brisson, Antonio Pagano Zottola équipe 1 de notre unité BRIC,  Valentin Nägerl (Institut interdisciplinaire de neurosciences, IINS) and Thomas Daubon (Institut de Biochimie et Génétique Cellulaires, IBGC)

Glioblastoma (GB) is the most aggressive brain tumor characterized by high proliferation rate, core necrosis, microvascular proliferation and tumor infiltration. GB treatment consists in tumor resection by surgery and radiotherapy plus concomitant chemotherapy with temozolomide (Stupp et al, 2005). However, GB still remains incurable with a low median survival rate of approx. 15 months. This is due to resistance to treatment mainly caused by the presence of tumor cells that escape tumor resection by invading the normal brain parenchyma. Recent developments in immunotherapy did not succeed in overcoming this challenge. Unfortunately, the mechanisms underlying GB development are still not fully understood and current model systems addressing these questions are not adequate, impeding progress for the field. It has been shown that the tumor microenvironment (TME) in GB partially controls tumor growth and invasion, and constitutes a therapeutic target (Bikfalvi et al, 2022). A body of recent studies points to an important role of the normal neuronal brain environment in GB progression.

This meeting brings people together from both, the neuro-oncology and neuroscience communities to highlight these new developments occurring at the interface between neuro-oncology and the neurosciences.

The conference is open to the general public with a half-day specifically dedicated to the Patients/Medical Staff/Researchers triptych (in French), organized by Sophie North (BRIC-BoRdeaux Institute of onCology).
