Received grant in 2019

DCCC has funded 150,000 DKK to the project.

The aim of the project is to expand the current treatment database of DBCG to contain treatment information on all patients with metastatic breast cancer. The expansion is both a retrospective expansion covering all patients diagnosed since 2000 as well as establishing the means for continued coverage of future patients with metastatic breast cancer.

A subpart of the project will be done in a joined venture with the Department of Computer Science, University of Copenhagen in order to develop an algorithm identifying patients with metastatic breast cancer based on NPR data.
