Description

Chairs: M.S. Aapro, CH - J. Gligorov, FR

The understanding of cancer biology and development of specific immunological and “targeted” treatments is revolutionizing cancer treatment. To optimize the use of these therapeutic advances there is a clear need to define the disease of the patient more precisely.

The event will try to find answers to questions such as which parameters are of importance for the evaluation of patient prognosis and prediction of efficacy of the treatment. The Faculty will explain what can be asked from new methods, what do they bring today and what will they bring tomorrow.



LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• Update the knowledge of the implications for practice and clinical research  (tools to be used, tools still in research, areas where no tools are yet available)
• Understanding epigenetics and genomics research and their impact on cancer prognosis and therapy response (prediction)


MAIN TOPICS
• Epigenetics
• Pharmacogenomics
• Lung cancer
• Colorectal cancer
• Prostate cancer
• Breast cancer
