About this event:

As acute oncology (AO) reaches its 15th birthday, this one-day meeting provides a timely summary of where we have been and the current best practice for Acute oncology services. The program is not only according to different medical subspecialities, such as cardiac and respiratory AO emergencies, but also focusses on common acute oncology problems: spinal cord compression, immunotherapy toxicities and end of life care.

With a wide breadth of subjects, and a strong medical slant, the event is unique in content and format.

By attending, you will:

• Understand the acute oncology service and appreciate its future direction in further improving care

• Be able to investigate and manage common oncological emergencies

• Learn to recognize and understand the management of toxicity-related complications from anti-cancer therapies

• Appreciate the value of involving the wider MDT in specialist care or end of life care

This conference will, for the first time, gather the most notable world specialists in the field of S6 kinase research to present their latest findings.

This 3-day conference will be of interest to all researchers working on cell signalling, cancer biology, development as well as clinical practitioners involved in diseases where S6 kinases play a role, such as cancer. The event will also be an opportunity to network with the major players in the field and for young and early-career scientists to present their data in the form of posters or short oral presentations.

Participants will be able to:

• Know about the latest developments on the role of the S6K2 pathway in pathology and the therapeutic potential of targeting it in cancer
• Gain the latest understanding of the roles of RSK kinases in regulating the cancer phenotype
• Have an in-depth understanding of the role of S6K and RSK kinases in whole organism homeostasis
