Intermountain Healthcare is poised to validate and launch several tests to identify genetic variants associated with hereditary cancers shar.es/1NP3vq @HealthITNews @JCO_ASCO

The patient is the common thread for data sharing - they have the right to get it from health care institutions and share it in any way they want, including for research. #PMWC18 @LincolnNadauld

Again, these nuggets are fabulous! "7-10 % pancreatic cancer patients have germline BRCA even in absence of familial history of ovarian and breast cancer" Indicates pt may respond positively to PARP & platinum therapies. ~ Tom Ford @StanfordMed #PMWC18 #genomics #genetics #pancsm

"We would never imagine treating a lung cancer patient without genomic sequencing, we need to consider testing more broadly" (like in pancreatic cancer - see previous tweet) ~ @LincolnNadauld of @Intermountain #PMWC18 #genomics #PrecisionMedicine

New blood test could detect #breastcancer quicker than screenings: on our team's collaboration with @intermtncancer in using #genomics tech to improve cancer diagnostics buff.ly/2z3GoBA

One theme of our case study is to show the implementation of #PrecisionMedicine into clinical practice. #PMConf

Excited to be presenting the Intermountain Healthcare case at #PMConf.

Through 4 major pillars, we have been able to implement #PrecisionMedicine into clinical practice at @Intermountain : 1) Expertise, 2) Leadership, 3) Access to Samples and 4) Integrated Healthcare System. #PMConf

Meaningful that the first adjective used by the audience to describe #personalizedmedicine was "patient," not researcher #PMConf @RHamermesh @permedcoalition

Through our study, we found that patients lived longer and treatment was cost effective through #PrecisionMedicine . #PMConf

Three ways we increased implementation in our health system: 1. We adopted our nurse navigator program. 2. We made it a board goal that every patient with metastic cancer would receive genomic testing. 3. We made ordering the test easy and simplified. #PMConf

Through partnerships and appeal processes, we came to mutual understanding to help patients receive drugs and the right treatment. #PMConf

Two ingredients to bridge education gap: 1) physician champion within institution, 2) administrative champion to assist with barriers. #PMConf
Intermountain Cancer retweeted
Every cancer patient should have a fully informed treatment plan including genomic analysis. #PMConf

Nadauld @intermtncancer : In five years, going to laugh at our collective worrying over cost, getting evidence for clinical utility, and over-use of tumor boards #PMConf

Paul Van Hummelen describes our Center's collaboration with @intermtncancer, using genomics technology in oncology to derive large-scale outcome data & evidence for clinical utility of #PrecisionMedicine

November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month! I wrote about my experience with the Whipple surgery here: oftumorsandmen.com/whipple-b… #pancsm

Our hope is that in a few years we will have a follow up announcement saying we have found a blood-based screening for #breastcancer.
