New Cancer Treatment Initiative Announced
The Irish Cancer Society are to announce a new five-year €7.5m cancer research collaboration, in an effort to find better ways of treating the disease.
The new Breast Predict initiative will involve Irish scientists and academics in a collaborative breast cancer research centre, where they will share resources, technical expertise and patient samples, while producing a breast cancer database and treatment models.
Yearly funding of €1.5m will be provided by the Irish Cancer Society for what is the world's only long term cancer treatment initiative to track patients' welfare, which is made possible by the country's small population.
