Excellence In Research
The objective for our research activities is clearly set: Facilitate excellent clinical cancer research at international level to improve the treatment and quality of life of patients suffering from cancer.We are not a pharmaceutical company and therefore our real ‘product’ is the gain in scientific knowledge. This is achieved by clinical trials that focus on endpoints relevant to patients such as response rate, survival and quality of life.
Translational research is an important component of our study designs. Wherever possible, we collect materials to help researchers gaining a better understanding of pathogenesis and development of cancer. Currently, we are participating in several projects and work with TR initiatives like the German Cancer Consortium (DKTK).
