About Dubai, UAE

Dubai is the most populous city in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the capital of the Emirate of Dubai, the most populated of the 7 emirates of the United Arab Emirates.

In the eastern Arabian Peninsula on the coast of the Persian Gulf, it is also a major global transport hub for passengers and cargo. Oil revenue helped accelerate the development of the city, which was already a major mercantile hub.

A centre for regional and international trade since the early 20th century, Dubai's economy relies on revenues from trade, tourism, aviation, real estate, and financial services. Oil production contributed less than 1 percent of the emirate's GDP in 2018. The city has a population of around 3.49 million.

SESSIONS AND TRACKS

SESSIONS AND TRACKS

1. Cancer Research

Cancer analysis helps to spot causes, and develop methods for hindrance, diagnosis, treatment and cure. Cancer analysis might concern Scientists from Chemistry, organic chemistry, medicine Engineering, Physiology or Molecular background.

2: Oncology

Oncology is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. When the cells don't obey the body’s control mechanism then the growth of cells becomes abnormal which results in cancer. Different types of cancer exist, each behaving differently despite its ability to grow, divide, and re-divide.

3: Oncologists

An Oncologist is specialized in the treatment of cancer. Oncologists diagnose cancer and identify treatment options. Oncologists are also known as specialists. The responsibilities are: explaining the cancer diagnosis and stage, when discussing treatment options and their preferred option, providing high-quality, compassionate care Assisting the patient in dealing with the symptoms and side effects of cancer and treatment.

4: Cancer and its types

Cancer is the abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cells that affects normal body tissues. The cancerous cells invade and spread to the other parts of the body through blood and lymph systems. Cancer cells can disrupt normal organ function when they develop. This can lead to a reduction in oxygen supply and the accumulation of waste products. It is possible to die if vital organ function is impaired. Worldwide cancer is the leading cause of death.

5: Cancer stages

Cancer is mainly classified into four stages; the fourth stage is the most dangerous. The early stage of cancer is Stage I which affects a small area. Stage II Cancerous cell grows and doesn’t spread to lymph systems. Stage III Cancerous cells spread to lymph systems and other tissues. Stage IV is known as metastatic or advanced cancer in which the cancerous cells spread to other organs of the body.

6: Oncogenesis

Oncogenesis is the transformation of healthy cells into cancer cells. A series of genetic and cellular changes, including oncogene activation, causes the cell to divide uncontrollably. Oncogenesis which is occurring in cancer patients and cannot be reversed. Many cancer treatments aim to eliminate cancerous cells from the body.

7: The Biology of Cancer

Our cells are genetically designed to perform a variety of tasks throughout our lives. New cells are needed to replace worn-out cells that die in a predictable cycle. When a cell's DNA becomes faulty, the cells can begin to expand uncontrollably, resulting in the formation of a tumor – a 'swelling,' but in the context of cancer, the term refers to abnormal tissue growth.

8: Cancer Biomarkers

Biomarkers are those molecules which serve as indicator for the processes that may occur in a body for a disease for which the patient has been diagnosed. Cancer Biomarkers are those biological molecules that may help to detect if a person is having Cancer. Some major examples of Biomarkers that has been used for diagnosis of cancer are, ER/PR (Used for Breast Cancer), Eml4/ALK (used for Lung Cancer). Additionally, biomarkers are generally used in clinical practice to identify patients with favorable prognoses who can safely avoid overtreatment.

9: Cancer detection and treatment

Cancer is suspected based on symptoms, physical examination findings, and, in some cases, screening test results. X-rays obtained for other reasons, such as an injury, may occasionally reveal abnormalities that could be cancer. Other tests are required to confirm the presence of cancer (termed diagnostic tests). The majority of people receive a combination of treatments, such as surgery combined with chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

10: Prevention of Cancer

Cancer prevention and risk-reduction efforts significantly lessen the disease's financial, emotional, and physical toll and enhance the general health of cancer survivors, including lowering the risk of developing second cancer.

It is also important to note that not all cancers are avoidable, even though the risk of developing cancer can be significantly decreased by avoiding risk factors.

11: Oncology Pharmacy

Oncology-specialist pharmacists play an important role in the healthcare team. Pharmacists also help with the overall drug plan coordination, which includes everything from inpatient chemotherapy infusions to which pills must be taken at home. Pharmacists are knowledgeable about pharmaceuticals and how they work in the fight against cancer.

12: Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy medications, in general, work by attacking cells or preventing them from growing and dividing. Cancer cells proliferate and divide at an uncontrollable rate. Many chemotherapy drugs are specifically designed to inhibit this type of rapid cell growth. Chemotherapy is a systemic treatment. This means it circulates throughout the body via the bloodstream.

12: Cancer Radiation Therapy

Radiation Therapy treatment uses high-energy radiation to destroy cancerous cells. The heavy dose of radiation kills the cancer cells and shrinks tumors by damaging their DNA. The body breaks and eliminates the damaged cells when they die.

13: Cancer Nursing

Oncology Nurse is a Specialist who take cares of Cancer patients. Oncology nursing care could be defined as the special care and completing the needs of patients during the time of their disease, while may involve some screening methods and preventive measures that should be taken care of.

14: Clinical Tests

Clinical Tests are the primary means by which doctors discover new treatments. Cancer and other diseases are being studied in clinical tests. Clinical Tests also assist physicians in learning how to prevent disease and treat symptoms and side effects.

15: Anti-Cancerous Diet

Eating health foods can prevent cancer. Cancer could be cured to some extent if a patient follows good and health diet, which generally includes fruits and raw green leafy vegetables. Some of which includes, Apple, Papaya, Banana, Carrots, Tomatoes, etc which have high antioxidant properties, and thus a potential to cure cancer.

16: Cancer Drugs and Vaccines

Cancer drugs are divided into several categories, including natural products, alkylating agents, hormones, and antimetabolites. Vaccines are given to healthy people to protect them from certain bacteria or viruses that spread diseases. Throughout your life, you will be given numerous vaccines to help prevent common illnesses. Cancer vaccines are also available. There are both cancer prevention and cancer treatment vaccines.

17: Surgical Oncology

Surgical oncology is a branch of medicine dedicated to the surgical treatment of cancer tumors. Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, hormone therapy, bone marrow transplant, immunotherapy, targeted drug therapy, and other cancer treatment methods are available. A surgical oncologist is essential in multidisciplinary cancer care. They are trained to handle both simple and complex primary and secondary cancer cases.

18: Clinical Oncology

Clinical Oncologists are cancer specialists who use a combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy to treat patients. They are involved in the management of all types of cancer and use a variety of non-surgical treatments to treat cancers. A clinical oncologist’s role is very collaborative.

19: Head and neck cancer

Head and neck cancer begins in the head and throat regions. The major cause of head and neck cancer is the consumption of alcohol and tobacco products. When the head and neck regions are exposed to radiation leads to head and neck cancer.

20: Breast Cancer

Breast cancer occurs when the cells in the breast region grow abnormally. Breast cancer mainly occurs in women and rarely in men. The cancerous cells in the breast can also spread outside via blood vessels and lymph vessels. It is the world’s second leading cause of cancer death among women.

21: Melanoma and Other Skin Cancer

Melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, grows in the cells (melanocytes) that produce melanin, the pigment that gives your skin its color. Melanoma can also develop in the eyes and, in rare cases, inside the body, such as the nose or throat.

Although the exact cause of all melanomas is unknown, exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UV) from sunlight or tanning lamps and beds raises your risk of developing melanoma. Limiting your exposure to UV radiation may help lower your risk of developing melanoma.

22: Cancer Nanotechnology

Cancer nanotechnology is a branch of nanotechnology concerned with the application of both nanomaterials (such as nanoparticles for tumor imaging or drug delivery) and nanotechnology approaches (such as nanoparticle-based theranostics) to the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

23: Cancer Biomedical Advancements

Biomedical instruments are used to help with the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of medical conditions. Several new types of cancer treatment equipment, such as:

Ultrasound and radiography - Ultrasound is a non-invasive method of obtaining an image of the internal organs. It is helpful for cancer patients to examine their abdomen for any lymph enlargement or masses.

Linear Accelerator (LINAC) - It emits highly localized radiation (X-rays) and is used in the treatment of cancer. The 6 MeV linear accelerator with surface electron capability allows the treatment of cancer cells even under the subcutis layer overlying the cranium. The connected display unit allows the patient to see his activity as well.

24: Stem Cell Therapy & Cancer Research

Stem cell transplants include process that restores the blood-forming stem cells in people who have had destroyed their cells by the very high doses of chemotherapy or radiation therapy that were used to treat certain cancers. Different types of Stem Cell Transplants include Autologous, Allogeneic and Syngeneic

25: Molecular Mechanism of Cancer

Cancer generally occurs due to a damage that has been caused to DNA. Genes that regulate the cell division, generally get mutated, due to which their control to cell division is hampered. And thus, result of which is uncontrolled cell division, which then leads to cancer. So, to control cancer (uncontrolled cell division) genes which has lost their ability to act under such conditions, should be activated.

26: Supportive care

Supportive care is an important component of cancer care that is provided in addition to treatments to slow, stop, or cure the disease. According to research, supportive care can improve your quality of life and make you feel more satisfied with your treatment.
