Improving Cancer Diagnosis and Care: The Clinical Application of Computational Methods in Precision Oncology: A Workshop
In-Person Event
Oct 29 - 30, 2018
Washington, Dist Of Col, USAOVERVIEW
Improving Cancer Diagnosis and Care: The Clinical Application of Computational Methods in Precision Oncology: A Workshop is organized by The Health and Medicine Division of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (HMD-NASEM) and will be held from Oct 29 - 30, 2018 at National Academy of Sciences, Washington, Dist of Col, United States of America.
Description:
Recognizing these challenges, the National Cancer Policy Forum developed a 2-workshop series to examine strategies to improve cancer diagnosis and care. The first workshop focused on patient access to expertise and technologies in oncologic imaging and pathology (held on February 12 – 13, 2018).
The second public workshop will be held on October 29 – 30, 2018 to examine the clinical use of high-dimensional omics data and computational methods in precision oncology research and clinical care. The workshop will feature invited presentations and panel discussions on topics that may include:
• Challenges and opportunities to use omics data to develop precision medicine approaches and technologies in cancer care.
• Potential standards and best practices for computational software and methodological approaches for the use of big data to inform clinical care of patients with cancer, especially in regard to multi-parameter/multi-treatment testing and interpretation.
• Potential opportunities to improve the translation of omics technologies into oncology practice, such as harmonization of standards for omics-based discovery, development and evaluation; data sharing and reproducibility; oversight and regulation; education, training, and workforce needs; and the use of dissemination and implementation science strategies.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
