International Conference and Exhibition on Pediatric Oncology and Clinical Pediatrics 2016
Dear Participants of the International Conference on Pediatric Oncology 2016,
It is a great pleasure for me to see that a main theme of this year's conference is: ‘Benchmark practices and accelerating computational approaches for Pediatric Oncology’. Computational Oncology is getting more and more important in medicine. This is also the case for Pediatric Oncology. In several European funded projects I am involved in developing IT tools for gaining new knowledge by joining and analyzing heterogeneous data of patients. Based on individual patients these tools can serve as decision support services. It is my strong believe that such tools will be part of physician's daily clinical care for patients in the future. Such tools will help to get better diagnosis and treatments for individuals, including children with cancer, thus paving the way to personalized medicine. Together with the scientific coordinator of the EU funded Research project CHIC (Computational horizon in cancer) - Prof. Dr. Georgios Stamatakos from the Technical University in Athens - I would like to invite you to our CHIC workshop held at this conference. CHIC proposes the development of clinical trial driven tools, services and infrastructures that will support the creation of multiscale cancer hypermodels (integrative models). CHIC aspires to make a breakthrough in multiscale cancer modeling through greatly facilitating multi-modeller cancer hypermodelling and its clinical adaptation and validation. One of these hyper models being developed calculates the response of preoperative chemotherapy in children with nephroblastoma, predicting the amount of tumor shrinkage by actinomycin D and vincristine in case of localized nephroblastoma. We will demonstrate this model during the workshop and present further details and results of the CHIC project including also legal and ethical issues.
Professor Stamatakos and me wholeheartedly welcome you at the conference and at our workshop. We also thank the organizing committee for their great work and making it possible to present you new results in computational approaches for Pediatric Oncology.
