This symposium will feature state of the art imaging for staging cancer and detecting recurrent disease. Recognizing the limitations in sensitivity and specificity of current technology, exciting, new approaches in various stages of development will be presented. These technologies will cover the spectrum from clinical trials, pre-clinical mouse models, to development of new imaging agents. Symposium discussants represent leaders in basic and applied chemistry, physics and bioengineering research. It is expected that these advances will also result in the ability to determine the potential of tumors to spread as well as provide in real time responsiveness of tumors to targeted cancer therapies.
