The Monash Partners Comprehensive Cancer Consortium is running a Precision Oncology seminar on Friday 25 June at 1pm.

Convergence of Public Health and Precision Oncology into Precision Public Health

Management of breast and prostate cancer comprises a large proportion of the work of clinical cancer genetics and oncology services, but translation of findings from basic science into clinical and public health usage remains largely unfulfilled. Genomics (and epigenomics) is one of many factors that can advance precision medicine, but principles of public health remain important to guide the foundation of this work.
