The Clínica Universidad de Navarra and the CIMAin partnership with the Navarra Hospital Complex and Navarrabiomed, have organized an informative talk open to the public to present DIANA. It is a collaborative project of research funded by the Government of Navarra that aims to goal implement in the clinical internship sequencing techniques and genomic medicine, necessary for precision medicine.

According to the latest cancer registry published in Navarra, during the period 2008-2009, 10,316 new cases of tumors were diagnosed in the population of Navarra, of which 8,722 were infiltrating malignant tumors. These data highlight an important public health problem with great repercussions on the health care system.
During the session, examples of applications of NGS technologies in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients will be presented. As Dr. Felipe Prósper, coordinator of project explains, "these technologies will make it possible to individualize the diagnosis and thus establish the best treatment for each patient, which will result in a better quality of life and a lower economic cost".
