Pushing the Frontiers of Cancer Research: Highlights from the Frontiers in Cancer Science Conference 2023.

The 15th annual Frontiers in Cancer Science (FCS) conference gathered scientific experts who shared the latest research converging upon several themes of cancer biology. These themes included the dysregulation of metabolism, cell death, and other signaling processes in cancer cells; using patient "omics" datasets and single-cell and spatial approaches to investigate heterogeneity, understand therapy resistance, and identify targets; innovative strategies for inhibiting tumors, including rational drug combinations and improved drug delivery mechanisms; and advances in models that can facilitate screening for cancer vulnerabilities and drug testing. We hope the insights from this meeting will stimulate further progress in the field.
