Discussion should focus on SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) What are the strengths of the EDRN and what can we do to further strengthen the Network; Identify weaknesses and discuss the solutions (mitigation); Discuss opportunities and highlight prioritized opportunities; Discuss threats (competing interests/research) and mitigations. Potential discussion topics in the context of SWOT: How do we envision the collaboration with industry as a way of the future; What can we do to focus more attention on including minorities in all biomarker testing and evaluation; What are the ways that we can tap into and engage with many of the other CBRG and DCP programs, i.e., CIB, MCL, Tumor Atlas; Discuss increasing the capacity for accrual for future studies; How can we expand the role of the BRLs? Discuss the potential of another collaborative group that is focused on common assays/technologies/biomarker validation? Can the EDRN consider the integration of small clinical trials to move clinical utility forward? How can we best bring junior investigators in our collaborative group; How do we increase the number of collaborations between our lung collaborative group members? Is EDRN ready to apply Universal Cancer Approach - multianalyte for Pan Cancer Detection? |
5:30 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. EDT |
Summary Write up Drs. Pierre Massion, James Herman, Lynn Sorbara, and Karl Krueger will summarize the information for presentation at the general meeting tomorrow. |
