Incorporating Integrated Diagnostics into Precision Oncology Care: A Workshop
2023-03-06 - 2023-03-07 | Virtual
Monday, March 6 – Tuesday, March 7 | Washington, DC & Virtual
Innovations in the diagnostic specialties have the potential to dramatically reshape cancer diagnosis and enable precision therapy. Spurred by advances in informatics, there are opportunities to combine and collate information from imaging, pathology, and molecular testing. Multidisciplinary collaboration among pathologists, radiologists, and oncologists—supplemented by machine-learning based tools—could facilitate a more precise understanding of a patient’s diagnosis and what treatment strategies may be most effective for improved patient outcomes. Integrated diagnostics also have the potential to improve patient access to subspecialty expertise, particularly in community-based settings of cancer care.
This National Academies workshop, convened by the National Cancer Policy Forum, in collaboration with the Academies’ Computer Science and Telecommunications Board, and the Board on Human-Systems Integration, is an opportunity for the cancer community to better define the purpose, goals, and components of integrated diagnostics. Workshop presentations and discussions will examine the current state of integrated diagnostics in facilitating precision cancer care and highlight speaker perspectives on the vision for the future.

Precision Nutrition: Connections Between Food, Environment & Health Mini-Symposium
2023-03-22 14:00 - 16:00 | Virtual
Wednesday, March 22 | 2-4 p.m. ET | Online
Join the UNC Program for Precision Medicine in Healthcare (PPMH) for Precision Nutrition: Connections Between Food, Environment & Health, a free virtual mini-symposium on Wednesday March 22, 2023 from 2:00-4:00pm ET. At this interactive event, you will engage in discussion with leading precision nutrition researchers at UNC.
Precision nutrition is an emerging personalized approach to nutrition that takes into account an individual’s unique dietary needs, lifestyle factors, and genetic makeup. This approach recognizes the intricate relationship between diet, environment, and health, acknowledging that what we eat and how we live can significantly impact our wellbeing. A precision nutrition approach also considers the individual’s unique health goals, such as managing a chronic condition or maintaining a healthy weight. By taking into account all of these factors, precision nutrition can help individuals make informed choices about their diet and lifestyle and achieve optimal health outcomes. Ultimately, precision nutrition recognizes that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition and health, and it tailors dietary recommendations and interventions to the individual.
