EORTC
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer or EORTC is an international non-profit organisation that develops, coordinates and stimulates cancer laboratory and clinical research in Europe. The mission of the EORTC is to improve the standard of cancer treatment and to facilitate the passage of experimental discoveries into state-of-the–art treatment.
About 2500 cancer specialists at more than 300 institutions around Europe work together within the EORTC organization. About 100 different EORTC clinical trials reach 6 500 new patients every year.
The EORTC headquarter is located in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert/Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe, near Brussels, Belgium.
