The Luxembourg Institute of Health and National Cancer Institute - NCI Luxembourg (Yong-Jun kwon, Reka Toth, Nikolai Goncharenko, Michael DangPhuoc and Tatiana Michel) were present to represent Luxembourg at the EUnetCCC - European Network of Comprehensive Cancer Centres educational seminar, “Advancing Precision Oncology through Molecular Tumour Boards” at the Hospital Universitari Vall d'Hebron Institute of Oncology (VHIO) in Barcelona.
The seminar aimed to build a pan-European community around Molecular Tumour Boards (MTBs) 🧬 and to share best practices for implementing precision diagnostics into routine cancer care — Sessions covered clinical workflows, biomarker assays, pre-analytical best practices, bioinformatics, interpretation frameworks and operational/legal issues.
The meeting emphasised standardisation, multidisciplinary decision-making 🤝, validated decision-support tools and stronger inter-centre collaboration — and launched an ongoing education series to scale MTB expertise across networks.
About ~200–300 participants 👩⚕️👨🔬 including molecular biologists, bioinformaticians, pathologists, clinicians, data scientists, patient representatives and industry partners.
