Events
The 2nd Biennial Miami Precision Medicine (MPM) 2024 Conference will bring together diverse experts in the field to share their knowledge and approaches in moving the precision medicine field towards routine practice. Precision Oncology- treating the right patient with the right treatment at the right time- has made substantial progress in developing novel and effective treatments that target specific molecular alterations in an increasing number of cancer types. The course will examine the treatment landscape based on published and emerging data.
The conference will also illustrate the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in identifying patterns and innovative strategies for specific cancers and individual patient populations. An interdisciplinary molecular tumor board case discussion will emphasize the role of germline and genomic alterations in selecting targeted treatments as well as present relevant precision medicine clinical trials.
The success of next-generation precision oncology depends not only on the discovery of new actionable disease characteristics and the integration of multi-omic data, but also on the dissemination of clinical information amongst healthcare providers and the ability of patients to access novel targeted anticancer therapies not only locally, but globally.
Patients and advocacy groups will have an opportunity to “sit at the table” and share their insight, learn about promising clinical trials and partner with physicians to develop new strategies tailored to their specific needs.
The conference’s goal is to promote and facilitate awareness, education and equity in precision medicine cancer care and ultimately to identify and overcome barriers to precision medicine.
