Chair(s)
Prof. Ross McKinnon, Flinders University, AustraliaIntroduction
Improving outcomes for patients with multiple cancer types can be accelerated with a variety of sophisticated data science methods, big data spanning multiple modalities (clinical, pathological, radiological, tumour or circulating biomarkers) and leveraging established collaborations with industry and clinical stakeholders. This symposium will provide insights into the use of data-based approaches to optimise the choice of therapeutic strategies and to achieve optimised dosing in various clinical scenarios.

Learning objectives
- To identify different epidemiological approaches that utilise patient-provided data to inform dosage regimen design in cancer
- To appreciate barriers associated with patient donation of experiences and data to assist in optimising pharmacotherapy
- To describe various modelling procedures that can be employed for dose individualisation and optimising pharmacotherapy in cancer
