Editorial Note
This special issue of Journal of Cancer Metastasis and Treatment is dedicated to the proceedings of the 3rd World
Congress on Cancer 2019 held in Prague (Czech Republic) during September 23-25 (http://colossalfacet.com/
cancer-conference/).

The theme of the Conference Cancer 2019 was “New strategies to prevent, diagnose and treat Cancer based on
Precision Medicine”. The conference focused on the biomolecular mechanisms of cancer development, on the
altered energetic metabolism in cancer cells, on the cancer patient’s metabolic alterations, and on the diagnostic
and therapeutic approaches. Major topics included: pathogenetic mechanisms (oncogenes, oncosuppressors,
DNA repair, cancer stem cells, epigenetics, inflammation, and immune responses); metabolism (nutrition, fasting,
and obesity) and cancer; novel strategies for prevention, diagnosis and therapy (imaging, phytochemicals, and
nanotheranostics). The conference gathered academicians and young inspired scientists from all around the world
with the aim to strengthen the international cooperation in the fight against cancer. One other major goal of this
conference was, in fact, to create an atmosphere of interactions between young and senior scientists to favor novel
cooperation that can bring new and more efficacious strategies to understand and fight cancer. The Organizing
Scientific Committee was formed by renowned scientists in the field who delivered a keynote Speech. Thomas
N Seyfried delivered the honorary lecture. In addition, we had invited lectures, oral communications, and poster
presentation from registered attendees from all around the world.

This special issue collects the contribution in the form of original research papers or review articles from all
participants at the conference.

Keywords: Autophagy, biomarkers, cachexia, cancer metabolism, cancer therapy, cell death, epigenetics, metastasis,
