Health and Global Institute (HGPI) hosted the Project for Considering the Future of Precision Medicine with Industry, Government, Academia, and Civil Society – The Global Meeting: Toward Equitable Patient Access to Genomic Cancer Medicine in both on-site and online (Hybrid) format on April 4th, 2024.
In the field of oncology, “Cancer Genomic Medicine” has already been actively adopted into routine clinical practice in some countries. There are high expectations that cancer genomic medicine has the potential to fundamentally change the cancer treatment strategy for individual patients in the future.
At this meeting, since ensuring equitable patient access to cancer genomic medicine, including cancer genetic panel testing and subsequent treatment, has become a global topic of discussion, multi-stakeholders were invited, discussing about the latest initiatives in the UK and Japan.
The panel discussion at this meeting focused on the following issues
- Geographic and informational barriers to participation in tests and clinical trials.
- How industry-government-academia-industry collaboration can help remove bottlenecks to patient access.
- Assessment and institutional design measures to ensure access to appropriate tests and treatments at the right time.
- Actions to disseminate and scale up advanced technologies for general use.
