Bringing Modern Genomics to the Management of Lung Cancer in Queensland (Old ID 23121)
Role
Principal Investigator
Description
Our project will overcome many of the issues slowing the implementation of cancer genomics and personalised medicine in the state, including (and where relevant, in partnership with the QGHA capability projects): • We will develop models of care covering all aspects from consent, sample collection and handling, genomic profiling, data analysis and reporting of both somatic and heritable variants, to enable clinical uptake. • We will develop education programs for health care workers and patients. • We will establish protocols for cancer genomics in Indigenous populations in consensus with Indigenous communities. • We will perform a comprehensive analysis of the performance of all aspects of the upgraded model of care and compare it with the current standard of care to identify areas for improvement, and to establish the case for its broader implementation. A system of performance analysis and systems improvement will be built into the care pathways developed, to ensure continuous service improvement beyond the life of this project.
