The Ninth Annual Pezcoller Symposium entitled "The Biology of Tumors" was held in Rovereto, Italy, June 4-7, 1997. It focused on the genetic mechanisms underlying het erogeneity of tumor cell populations and tumor cell differentiation, on interactions be tween tumor cells and cells of host defenses, and the mechanisms of angiogenesis. With presentations at the cutting edge of progress and stimulating discussions, this symposium addressed issues related to phenomena concerned with cell regulation and cell interactions as determined by activated genes through the appropriate and timely media...

Practitioners and researchers from a broad range of disciplines and three continents review the status of magnetic resonance imaging and scanning in epilepsy, and the current research and where is it likely to lead. The 53 papers, from a workshop in Chalfont St Peter, England, October 1992, discuss

Contains papers and discussion from the June 1995 symposium, covering oncogene and tumor suppressor gene function, transcription regulation, cell cycle progression regulation and apoptosis, and clinical implications of oncogene function and regulation for prevention and therapy of cancer.

The eighth Annual Pezcoller Symposium, entitled Genomic Instability and Immor- tality in Cancer, was held in Trento, Italy, June 17-19, 1996 and was focused on the clari- fication of the mechanisms of genetic instability, a characteristic of neoplastic cells which also determines tumor progression, and immortality consequent to the lack of susceptibil- ity to mechanisms of maturations, senescence and/or apoptosis. With presentations at the cutting edge of progress and stimulating discussions, this symposium addressed issues related to mutational lability, changes in DNA repair capa- bilities,...

The seventh Annual Pezcoller Symposium entitled, Cancer Genes: Functional As- pects, was held in Trento, Italy, June 14-16, 1995 and was focused on oncogenes func- tion, tumor suppressor gene function, transcription regulation, cell cycle progression regulation and apoptosis, and the clinical implications of oncogene function and regula- tion for prevention and therapy of cancer. With presentations at the cutting edge of pro- gress and stimulating discussions, this Symposium addressed issues related to the mechanisms of control of cell growth and death by certain genes such as c-myc, src,...
