Organizes the
Conference:
The endothelial
cell and tumor angiogenesis
Romania, Timisoara: 19-21 April 2007
Invitation
Dear colleagues,
A scientific discovery rarely raises such an
interest in the medical world as does the demonstration of the
angiogenic-dependent character of malignant tumors. Such a basic
discovery rarely passes so fast from an observational stage to the
prognostic and therapeutic one. Thousands of articles are yearly
published regarding the endothelial cell and normal and pathologic
angiogenesis. There have been described the mechanisms of the process,
there have been isolated angiogenic substances and numerous inhibitors.
In this context, the angiogenesis with its many aspects represents a
good field for fundamental research as well as clinical trials. We
decided to organize this conference for the reason that there are still
many unknown issues, in every segment of research: morphologically,
molecular, prognostic and clinic. On the global scale there have been
many groups established in this field, and in countries from the
European Union and America tumor angiogenesis is a priority in research.
We believe that this first manifestation of this type in Romania can
only bring benefits through its interdisciplinary character. Theoretical
and practical data on angiogenesis will support the introduction of
anti-vascular drugs in our country.
