This international meeting, opened by Professor Robert Weinberg's Presidential Lecture on cancer fundamentals, included two sessions on ion channels. The latter covered transient receptor potential as well as voltage-gated potassium and sodium channels. Regulation of pH, calcium and bioelectric signaling were covered in depth. Thus, ionic mechanisms operating at various stages of the complex process of cancer were discussed in timely manner.
