Science Researcher Update: Spotlight on Meetings, Conferences, and Events

The Economist's Health Care Forum: War on Cancer

Posted on Jul 14, 2015 5:43:49 AM

 
Conference - Boston, MA, United States
 
New weapons are emerging in the war on cancer thanks to breakthroughs in science, cutting-edge technologies, more efficient regulation and most of all, a growing appetite for cooperation within the sprawling health-care ecosystem.
This event will focus on innovative approaches and solutions across policy and financing, prevention, early detection, treatment and long-term management of this deadly disease. The conference will convene industry experts in oncology, senior researchers, senior executives at pharmaceutical and insurance companies, policy leaders and more.
Collaboration in the health-care space is imperative if we are to reach our full potential to truly unleash innovation, efficiency and patient-centricity.
That’s why the oncology space remains a huge area of opportunity and growth. The reality of big data has provided hope that massive data sets may help both companies and researchers synthesize patient information to allow for a more targeted approach for new drugs and diagnostics and that it will help clinicians share information about therapeutic outcomes. Indeed, it will take unprecedented collaboration among pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, regulators, patient care advocates and insurers to scale innovation and drive down costs.
