"Chemotherapy-Induced Metastasis: Mechanistic Underpinnings – Translational Opportunities"

At the conclusion of this activity, the participant will be able to:

1. Describe key myeloid cell phenotypes and functions following their recruitment into the tumor microenvironment during treatment with cytotoxic chemotherapy
2. Discuss the molecular and cellular mechanisms via which chemotherapy treatment supports a prometastatic tumor microenvironment
3. Investigate translational ramifications of chemotherapy-mediated prometastatic lesions
