New therapies for uveal melanoma (UM Cure 2020)
Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2020,
Uveal melanoma (UM) is a rare intraocular tumour with an incidence of 5 cases per million individuals per year. Up to 50% of UM patients develop metastases, most often in the liver, and these are invariably fatal. Despite new discoveries in the genetic and molecular background of the primary tumour, little is known about the metastatic disease; furthermore, there is no therapy to either prevent or ...

European collaborative project on Targeted therapy in renal cell cancer: genetic and tumor-related biomarkers for response and toxicity (EuroTARGET)
Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2016,
Each year more than 63,000 new cases of kidney cancer are diagnosed in the European Union. Approx. 50% of all patients have metastasized renal cell cancer (mRCC) at presentation or develop metastases during follow-up. 5-year relative survival of mRCC has been extremely poor: between 5 and 10%. In the past few years, so-called targeted therapies that suppress angiogenesis have changed the clinical ...
