St. Jude Cancer Predisposition Symposium

At the Crossroads: Intersection of Germline Predisposition & Pediatric Oncology Clinical Care & Research

October 14 and 15, 2025 

 
 

The Cancer Predisposition Symposium will convene leading experts to explore cutting-edge advancements in genetic predisposition to cancer, fostering accelerated progress in this critical area. 

Key topics to be discussed include: 

  • Advanced Genomic Sequencing: Development and implementation of sophisticated clinical genomic sequencing approaches for diagnosing hereditary cancer predisposition syndromes. 
  • Precision Medicine: Use of organ-sparing surgeries, molecularly targeted therapies, and innovative radiosurgery techniques for cancer treatment in children with genetic predisposition. 
  • Ethical Considerations: Exploration of the complex ethical and psychological dimensions surrounding germline genetic testing for hereditary cancer risk. 
  • Enhanced Survivorship: Development of specialized tools, genomic predictors, and transition-of-care programs to optimize long-term outcomes for young adults with cancer predisposition. 
  • Increasing Access: Fostering establishment of advanced practices to increase access and decrease disparities surrounding germline genetic testing for cancer predisposition. 

The Symposium will bring together a diverse community of researchers, clinicians, trainees, and staff to foster the exchange of ideas and cutting-edge knowledge. This collaborative environment will drive impactful advancements that directly benefit children and families with increased genetic risk for cancer. 

The event will be hosted in-person at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital with an option for virtual attendance.  

Through presentations and discussions, we aim to: 

  • Increase awareness and knowledge of cancer predisposition. 
  • Provide updates on clinical and scientific advances. 
  • Share new insights and preliminary data. 
  • Foster research collaborations that will accelerate new discoveries. 
  • Optimize the care of affected children and their families. 

The Symposium is hosted by the Division of Cancer Predisposition at St. Jude and is a central component of the institution’s strategic initiative to drive scientific collaborations across campus, the U.S. and around the globe to accelerate progress against pediatric catastrophic diseases.

  10. Orthon Iliopoulos

    My laboratory is interested in the biology of tumor suppressor genes with particular emphasis on the von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor protein. This protein is a substrate receptor for the SCFVHL E3 ligase and induces tumor suppression, at least in part, by regulating the expression of hypoxia-inducible genes. A bona fide target of this complex is hypoxia-inducible factor HIF. We are currently exploring potential therapeutic implications of this known VHL-HIF interaction and, in addition, we are identifying novel substrates, which are ubiquitinated by the SCFVHL E3 ligase complex. At the clinical front we are creating a multidisciplinary VHL/Familial Renal Carcinoma clinic, staffed with professional genetic counselors and operating under the auspices of the MGH Cancer Genetics Program. We plan to co-ordinate patient care and approach the current questions regarding VHL disease monitoring, chemoprevention and timely intervention on a protocol-based manner. We also hope to enroll VHL patients in suitable treatment protocols.
