Major Topics:
   • Regulatory pathways (metabolic pathways, microRNAs, etc.) in the tumor microenvironment
   • Metastasis & the metastatic microenvironment
   • Protective immunity & inflammation in the tumor microenvironment
   • Imaging of the tumor microenvironment
   • Pre-metastatic niches and stem cells
   • Interactions of tumor cells with cells (endothelial cells, immunocytes, fibroblasts, etc.) & molecules (antibodies, cytokines, chemokines, enzymes, etc.), in the tumor microenvironment
   • Translational cancer research – clinical & preclinical studies:
      - Targeting of tumor microenvironment interactions
      - Biomarkers & molecular signatures
      - Modifying the tumor microenvironment
