Description of Collaborative Activity: |
The POIG, and its attendant listserv will aim to foster effective communication across the basic and clinical research oncology communities, to harness the translational powers of the NIH to advance precision therapy across cancers. The goals of the POIG are to discuss, plan, implement and execute the current CCR initiative to perform standardized genomic analyses (RNA-SEQ, exome-SEQ, methylation analysis) on a large cohort of NCI patients, with the goal of using these data to drive collaborative predictive and prognostic biomarker discovery and precision therapy strategies for improving patient outcomes, to discuss and implement best sample acquisition and management practices to learn the most from any precious patient material, to discuss and implement the best technologies and informatics to help us discover candidates for targeted therapies with the goal of maximizing favorable outcomes for oncology patients, and to rationally design clinical trials in oncology with a focus on precise therapies that have the potential to maximize benefit and minimize side effects. |
