Project Description
The objective of this project is to create a new standard for comprehensive management of cancer patients in order to guide multimodal therapy (surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy), in a personalized and effective manner.
The achievement of this objective is technically addressed by creating a multimodal database that contains information from the oncology patient’s information (clinical, histopathological data, medical imaging and molecular profiling).
The expert system is being created in along 3 different deliverables within the project:
- Multimodal Database that contains information (clinical, histopathological, and molecular profiles of medical data image) of studied cases and controls, this is, 1,000 patients (500 treated with targeted therapies, and 500 not treated with these therapies) with advanced breast, lung and colorectal cancer, among others.
- Software application to insert, modify, view and extract information from personalized treatment from data collected in the database.
- Predictive algorithms to design individualized treatments, optimal for managing patients with advanced cancer, depending on the tumor phenotype obtained by integrating data of different nature (Diagnostic tests)
