Effective treatment needs innovative research

Effective treatment needs innovative research
Every year, cancer is responsible for millions of deaths worldwide and, even though much progress has been achieved in medicine, there are still many issues that must be addressed in order to improve cancer therapy.
We do research to find innovative and efficient therapies to alleviate critical side effects caused by conventional treatments.
We also put a lot of effort into research to clarify the molecular mechanisms that determine malignant transformation in a broad spectrum of tumors and to translate these fundamental insights into improved early detection and treatment of cancers.
Ultimately, we know this will lead to personalized cancer therapy.
