About this Class
The NCI Cancer Diagnosis Program in the Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis is hosting a workshop, “Digital Pathology Imaging (DPI) in Cancer Clinical Trials and Research.” This workshop will focus on the expanding role of DPI in translational cancer research, biomarker studies, clinical trials, and pharmaceutical development. The primary objectives are to understand the specific needs of investigators and biospecimen banks for DPI and to successfully integrate DPI into cancer clinical trials. Workshop speakers will present the challenges of digital and computational pathology, including diverse hardware and software, image acquisition, validation, storage, data management, intellectual property, and public-private partnerships. The meeting will gather members of the scientific community, leaders of cancer clinical trials, representatives from NCI biospecimen banks, pathologists, radiologists, IT scientists, and policy advisors. The workshop participants will discuss how to best address challenges posed by the current lack of standardized approaches for DPI utilization in clinical trials and biobanking and will propose potential solutions.
