ONCOTHON

2. What is Oncothon?
Meeting organized by PTS in the framework of the ONCONET SUDOE European project
20 Institutions from the SUDOE space to analyze and compare professional practices and public health policies regarding cancer prevention and diagnosis, therapeutic innovation and medical data processing
Meeting with a hackathon format in which professionals from different areas (mainly Bioinformatics and Biomedical Research) work together during two days to know and explore the potential of cancer genomics data and the possibilities of the “cancer interception” concept

3. Topics

4. Challenges CANCER INTERCEPTION
To propose a strategy for developing diagnostic test and associated surrogate endpoints that would serve to:
Identify those individuals with premalignancies who are most likely to progress.
Accurately measure the clinical response of those individuals with high cancer risk, who will receive treatment

5. Challenges BIG DATA & CANCER GENOMICS
To propose ideas and solutions about challenging questions in the context of cancer genomics data analysis
Integrating Different Omics for Biomarker Discovery
Defining Gene Signature for Disease Progression or Survival
Drug Discovery and Personalized Treatments
Characterization of Cancer Driver Genes and Mutation
Discovering Tumor Subtypes from Genomics Data (Integrative Clustering)

6. How was it organized? Keynote talks
Speakers to propose questions, limitations of current methods, etc. in “workshop” sessions in both topics
Team Work
Propose solutions, ideas, proof of
concept or prototypes
Five minutes presentation
Two 3,000 € awards in each topic

7. ONCOTHON Keynote talks
