Time to Treatment

Take a look at the Roundtable details here.

The roundtable, co-chaired by Peter Albers (University Hospital of Düsseldorf) and Aleksandra Kaczmarek (Digestive Cancers Europe), aims to investigate the level to which patients are experiencing unnecessary and/or concerning levels of delay between a cancer being suspected, detected, diagnosed and treated across Europe. What this looks like across Europe, across tumour types, what drives the delays, and what options are available to remedy the delays.

By understanding the genetic makeup of a tumor, healthcare providers can tailor treatment strategies to individual patients, leading to improved outcomes. However, there are several challenges in implementing genomic tumour testing effectively, and this roundtable aims to address those challenges and discuss the way forward.
