Instand-NGS4P Event - High Level Seminar (European Parliament)

Precision Diagnostics for Precision Cancer Care - Improving patient access to innovation

The seminar (short talks followed by panel discussions involving key stakeholders) will address 3 major topics:

  1. There is a clear medical need for NGS and precision diagnostics in cancer care - the challenges and opportunities for improving the access of cancer patients to recent innovations will be discussed
  2. How can innovative technologies meet regulatory requirements for in vitro diagnostics and how European standards can help
  3. Health economic benefits of NGS as prerequisite for reimbursement schemes - how to overcome inequalities for patients in accessing precision diagnostics in Europe.

For further details, see the enclosed background information, including the list of speakers and panellists.

We will encourage active participant input during the open floor slots, and hope it will be a stimulating event for all.
