The foreign assembly on mind Oncology in Rennes was once organised in honor of Jean Pecker, to pay tribute to his contribution to the advance of neurological sciences and to take inventory of the present nation of data on mind tumors, a website during which the function of neurosurgery has been and should remain primordial. in the course of the two-day convention, the main issues of mind oncology experiences, either primary and medical, have been tested: oncogenesis, tumoral markers and immunology, metabolic and prognosis imaging, prognostic components and healing techniques. the massive quantity and prime quality of participations led to a certainly man made view of present advances in learn, of which this booklet provides the necessities. we've tried either to maintain the richness of medical exchanges which happened and to submit an exceptional many oral and poster communications. The e-book respects the association of convention periods, and therefore displays the significance accorded to glial tumor experiences. this can appear disproportionate given their frequency of prevalence in percentage to overall numbers of intracranial tumor procedures, yet their gravity and quasi-total resistance to present healing equipment are considerable justification. in addition, this is often the area within which hopes of development are commencing to seem, and it's turning into attainable to envisage remedy according to lately proven primary knowledge.

MERCIER ("0) and N. ROST (0). INTRODUCTION Although the cause of cancers is still unknown, experimental data of the last ten years have led to the theory that the abnormal growth pattern typical of cancer is related to changes in the genome of cells (11, 16, 18). The changes can be due to mutations in the gene sequence either spontaneously occurring or due to oncogenic agents (X-rays, chemicals or viruses) (9-14). The altered genes have been demonstrated to be responsible for the induction of malignant transformation in cell cultures or in animals.
