Our Communication Services
In this episode of the Vital Health Podcast, host Duane Schulthess speaks with two key voices driving the PRIME-ROSE initiative: Gro Live Fagereng, Project Manager of the EU-project PRIME-ROSE and Coordinator of Precision Cancer Medicine at Oslo University Hospital, and Henk van der Pol, Ph.D. Candidate at Leiden University Medical Center. They explain the DRUP (Drug Rediscovery Protocol) trial approach, which repurposes existing oncology drugs for new off-label uses, and discuss how this can widen treatment options for patients with rare or underserved tumor types. They also describe the complexities of consolidating small patient cohorts across multiple sites and countries, shedding light on how data models like OMOP help standardize clinical information.

Unlocking the value of personalised healthcare in Europe—breast cancer stratification
June, 2012
Abstract
Through stratification, this simulation shows that there is great potential to improve the efficiency of treating breast cancer. By segmenting the female population at the age of 50 based on family history and genetic testing, our model shows a reduction in costs of breast cancer treatments by 37% with no loss of efficacy accomplished primarily through a 60% drop in incidence of metastatic stages of the disease
