Validating predictive models of radiotherapy toxicity to improve quality-of-life and reduce side-effects in cancer survivors (REQUITE)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2018,
Long-term side-effects of radiotherapy impact on the quality-of-life (QoL) of cancer survivors. These side-effects could be reduced if predicted in advance. Previous work identified clinical and biological predictors but a major, coordinated approach is needed to validate them so they can be used clinically. The EU has ~17.8 million people living with a prior diagnosis of cancer of whom ~7 million ...

Adoptive engineered T cell Trials to Achieve Cancer Killing (ATTACK)
Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2017,
The aim of this research is to exploit technology for nucleic acid delivery through the clinical testing of adoptive engineered T cells to treat cancer. Recent innovative developments in cancer gene-immunotherapy have led to very encouraging early clinical results. However, the use of engineered T cells is a challenging and complex field with further development and more proof-of-principle trials ...

Adaptive and innovative Radiation Treatment FOR improving Cancer patients treatment outcomE (ARTFORCE)
Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2017,
Loco-regional treatment is the mainstay of cancer cures in non small lung and head and neck cancer. For advanced stage cancer, dose intense multimodality treatment is required yet affected by substantial side effects. Our aim is to improve treatment outcome in locally advanced head and neck and lung cancer patients by:1. Optimizing local control by introducing novel radiation techniques resulting ...

A European Platform for Translational Cancer Research (EUROCANPLATFORM)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
Europe has a number of advantages as regards developing translational cancer research, yet there is no clear European strategy to meet the increasing burden posed by cancer. The FP6 Eurocan+Plus project analysed the barriers underlying the increasing fragmentation of cancer research and stressed the need to improve collaboration between basic/preclinical and comprehensive cancer centres (CCCs), in ...

Advanced Teaching and TRaining for Adoptive Cell Therapy (ATTRACT)
Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2013,
Considerable resources are devoted to fighting cancer throughout Europe, yet these efforts are not producing the results that health practitioners and citizens might expect. This is partly due to the fragmentation and duplication of research efforts within Member states and the lack of co-ordination at European level. However it can also be attributed to the need to retain and most importantly dev ...
