Modeling Human Lung Cancer in Mice: 4th International Mouse Lung Tumorigenesis Symposium

This symposium is a continuation of The Mouse Lung Tumorigenesis Symposium Series. The First International Symposium on Mouse Lung Carcinogenesis was held in honor of Michael B. Shimkin, MD, a pioneer in the field of mouse lung carcinogenesis, in March 1990 at the National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. The Second International Mouse Lung Tumorigenesis Symposium was held in June 1997 at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. The Third International Mouse Lung Tumorigenesis Symposium was held at Medical College of Ohio in June 2000 in Toledo, Ohio. These meetings have greatly stimulated interaction and collaboration among scientists in the field of pulmonary tumorigenesis research. This meeting, ‘‘Modeling Human Lung Cancer in Mice: 4th International Mouse Lung Tumorigenesis Symposium,’’ has invited the leading scientists working on either mouse or human lung cancer to summarize recent research progress in the field of lung tumorigenesis. The focus of this conference was (1) to summarize advances in the field of mouse lung carcinogenesis since the Second International Mouse Lung Tumorigenesis Symposium was held in June, 2000; (2) to promote interactions with the recent NCI initiative on ‘‘Mouse Models of Human Cancers Consortium (MMHCC)’’ in the area of lung cancer; and (3) to integrate the efforts of searching for lung cancer susceptibility genes in mice and humans. Areas that were emphasized include investigations of the novel mouse lung tumor models, molecular genetics and carcinogenesis,
