Precision Medicine
for Cancer
March 1st to 4th
2015, Luxembourg, Luxembourg
Recent advances in
technology have provided an unprecedented opportunity to develop platforms for
implementing precision/ personalized medicine in cancer. This conference will
discuss the challenges that face us in implementing these approaches. Although
our understanding of the pathogenesis of cancer has advanced enormously in
recent years, we have only just begun to successfully translate this into
improvements in the clinical management of patients. A significant opportunity
is offered by the knowledge that cancer cells are ‘addicted’ to certain altered
genes, a vulnerability that can be exploited therapeutically. A number of
cancer-causing genes have been identified that are recurrently altered and
stimulate tumor growth. These ‘driver genes’ correspond to oncogenes (or tumor
suppressor genes) that are mutated or deregulated (e.g., amplified), causing
the tumor to become dependent on the lesion(s) for survival and/or
proliferation.
