A highly qualified-list of candidates means that more than one million DKK is allocated to three new initiatives and three new networks in the cancer area. The Steering Committee of DCCC notes that all new initiatives ensure support and collaboration from a wide range of actors in advance.
Three new national initiatives will examine HPV-related types of cancer by the initiation of the national prevention programme, the effect of a new detection programme for patients with colorectal cancer and also national multidisciplinary clinical guidelines for NACT (neoadjuvant chemotherapy) for breast cancer.
Three new national networks are being established for national collaboration on MR accelerator based radiotherapy, multidisciplinary research network for nutrition in cancer and to examine and evaluate routine diagnostics of mismatch repair (MMR) in colorectal cancer.
The academic level of the applications was highly acknowledged in the assessment process. The DCCC Steering Committee emphasize that the six new initiatives ensure collaboration and network across the country and across specialties. The new projects and networks are thereby highly correlating to DCCC's ambition to strengthen the national, multidisciplinary collaboration in cancer research and treatment and the ambition to shorten the link between research and clinical practice.
