About Cancer Core Europe

Cancer Core Europe was founded in 2014 to accelerate the development of innovative cancer therapies through close collaboration in translational and clinical research.

Shared commitment to work together to advanced cancer research for the benefit of patients

Cancer Core Europe builds on the efforts of previous larger European consortia including the EurocanPlatform and organizations that was funded by the European Commission under the seventh framework program.

CCE’s members share a common vision to reshape the cancer research model towards ultimately increasing the European competitiveness as an arena to conduct cutting-edge research that is rapidly translated to the clinic to deliver on the promise of precision medicine in oncology.

A strong alliance between 7 comprehensive cancer centres in Europe that have:

High volume of clinical activity

New patients/ year

Patients treated /year

Consultations

Extensive developed research infrastructures

Cancer centres and universities

Preclinical research

Translational research culture

Clinical research programs

Shared commitment to work together to advance cancer research for the benefit of patients

Data exchange is crucial – the complementary expertise of each center sustains a common infrastructure providing patients with access to cutting-edge therapies, including immune-based treatments, that can be more precisely tailored to certain individual patients.

Collective efforts to pool information from clinical, environmental, genomic, imaging and immune biology databases, will transform clinicians’ and researchers’ approach to cancer research, thereby permitting a deeper understanding of disease than any single center could achieve independently.

CCE Members

Sharing is essential—the complementary expertise of each centre will sustain a common infrastructure providing patients with access to cutting-edge therapies, targeted for each patient.
