Oncology is witnessing a paradigm shift with the integration of artificial intelligence and genomics, transforming the way cancers are detected, diagnosed, and treated. AI-powered tools are redefining tumour imaging, enabling greater accuracy in detection and risk stratification, while predictive models are offering clinicians deeper insights into disease progression and therapy response. At the same time, genomic-guided cancer care is moving from the laboratory to the bedside, creating real patient pathways where treatment decisions are tailored to individual molecular profiles. Together, these innovations are advancing precision oncology, offering the promise of targeted interventions, improved outcomes, and more meaningful longevity for patients.

 

However, the evolution of oncology in the era of AI and genomics also raises important considerations around accessibility, affordability, and long-term sustainability. Precision oncology must strike the right balance between groundbreaking innovation and cost-effectiveness to ensure that advances are not limited to a few but benefit patients globally. This session will critically examine the reality of AI in oncology—distinguishing genuine breakthroughs from hype—while showcasing patient-centred examples of genomic-guided care. By bringing together thought leaders and real-world insights, CLINOVATE aims to spotlight how technology and human-centred care can converge to transform cancer treatment and patient safety.

 

Tentative Agenda:

 

  1. Keynote Lecture: AI & Genomics: Transforming Cancer Detection and Therapy
  2. Interactive Panel: Precision Oncology: Balancing Innovation, Cost & Longevity
  3. Hands-on Workshop: AI Tools for Tumour Imaging, Risk Stratification & Predictive Models
