Important milestone for cancer patients in Norway:
Åslaug Helland, oncologist and group leader in the department will lead a new center for clinical treatment research that receives major funding from The Research Council of Norway and the Norwegian Cancer Society:
The Research Council of Norway and the Norwegian Cancer Society have allocated 128 mill. NOK for a Centre for Clincial Treatment Research for treatment of cancer.
"This funding is an important contribution to Norwegian cancer research and will ensure that more patients will be included into clinical trials. The aim is new and better treatment alternatives for hard-to-treat cancers. We will develop next generation diagnostics and treatment for increased overall survival and quality of life for cancer patients all over Norway" says Åslaug Helland, leader of the centre.
