Perspectives From Professional Societies
Our Conference is organized in association with the Personalized Medicine Coalition, American Association for Cancer Research, American Medical Association and the American Society for Human Genetics. All of these and many other scientific and medical organizations have established programs to educate their membership about the principles of personalized medicine and how it is influencing scientific and medical discovery as well implementation to improve human health. Representatives from these different organizations will discuss ways to improve the literacy on personalized medicine.

- What is the message to the society of Precision Medicine
José Baselga, M.D., Ph.D. SUBSTITUTED BY ACR – Dana Farber
Physician in Chief and Chief Medical Officer, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
American Cancer Research (ACR) is interested in Precision Medicine because:
- Initiative from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center – 7 Cancer Centers to pull together all Genomics Data on Cancer
- getting the right diagnosis, became very difficult
- 70,000 profiles, nucleotide , communicate with surgeons, physicians in the community
- Cohort study will help us learn
- What we need for Research: WHAT question, may be we do not need so many samples
- MRI shown early detection improves survival, instead of clinical trial, we can use High QUALITY REGISTRIES INSTEAD

- Payers are less interested in quality
- Value to Patients
COMMENTS from Audience
- Pathologists need to be reimbursed to do the diagnosis on specimen and genomics
- Education and training of Young MD students
- Colon Cancer Centers of Centers of Excellence: Genetics data vs data surgeon needs for complete exceesion during tumor removal by the Surgeon
- Standardize the collection of tissue sample
- DECISION SUPPORT for Genomics research, public domain, continue updates
- Insurance need to pay for one test at a time

- Professional Guidelines like AHA are very important
4:15 p.m. – Panel Discussion
Personalized Medicine Around the World
Personalized Medicine cuts across all disciplines of biology and medicine and does not have any national boundaries. However the healthcare systems in each country around the world are different and each country is taking its own unique path toward providing personalized medicine to its people. We will hear different examples from the two largest countries, China and India as well as perspectives from international business organizations.
