【Title】: Embryonal Origins of ChildhoodTumors【Speaker】: Prof. Dr. med. Stefan M. Pfister    DirectorPreclinical Program  Hopp Children`s Cancer CenterHeidelberg (KiTZ)              DivisionHead Pediatric Neurooncology  German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ)                                                   　　　　　　　　 German Cancer Consortium (DKTK)    DeputySection Head KiTZ Clinical Trial Unit  Heidelberg University Hospital【Abstract】: Ourlatest findings suggest that the majority of childhood tumors presumably arisefrom a premalignant progenitor clone, typically before birth. Thisindicates that such tumors could potentially be detected much earlier than theyare currently diagnosed.The embryonal origin of childhood tumors  stands in stark contrast tothe initiation and evolution of mutagen-driven epithelial tumors (i.e.,carcinomas) in adults.【Venue】: LectureRoom 3, 4th Floor of the Basic Medical Research Building　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　（基礎研究棟　第3講義室）【Language】: English（英語）【Contact】: SachiMaeda, Division of Department of Neurosurgery (Ext. 2355)                                           脳神経外科学　前田紗知　052-744-2355(内線2355)
