IRC/ISSB-P Advanced Course On Cancer Biology And Therapy: BestOf

Synopsis

“IRC / ISSB-P advanced course on cancer biology and therapy” is the
first educational event in molecular oncology and precision medicine
in morocco.
The course is oriented to oncologists, hematologists, radiotherapists,
pathologists, pharmacists, and biologists.
The main objective is to offer an up-to-date course on the molecular
oncology, and new therapeutic approaches.
International and national key speakers will provide lectures on
different topics in the field of precision oncology ranging from
molecular mechanisms to therapeutic applications.
The course will provide workshop sessions developed specifically to
discuss the clinical implementation of new technologies into clinical
practice.

Learning objectives

-To understand the basics of cancer development
-To understand the basics of cancer immunotherapy and their
applications
-To learn about the current and upcoming molecular approaches to
implement precision oncology.
-To understand the challenges regarding the interpretation and the
clinical utility of molecular profiling results.
-To learn about current and potential applications of liquid biopsies to
evaluate blood-based biomarkers and to develop more effective
therapeutic strategies based on a molecular monitoring of the disease.
–To learn about genetic testing and counseling in hereditary cancer for
patients and their families
To launch the “MoON” Network : Moroccan Oncogenetics Network
MoON
• Presentation of the MooN 2020-2023: action plan
• Presentation of the National steering committee
