Open Project for the European Radiation Research Area (OPERRA)
Start date: Jun 1, 2013, End date: May 31, 2017,
"Within the OPERRA project, it is proposed that the MELODI Association, as a well-advanced network, takes the lead in establishing the necessary structures able to manage the long-term European research programmes in radiation protection, also taking advantage of the valuable experience gathered through the DoReMi network of excellence. Whilst in fields adjacent to low-dose risk research (radioeco ...

IMmune MOdulating strategies for treatment of MErkel cell Carcinoma (IMMOMEC)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
"Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a highly aggressive, often lethal neuroendocrine cancer of the skin associated with the recently discovered, common Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV). With an incidence of 0.44 per 100,000 MCC is a very rare cancer. Notably, however, although MCC is 40 times less common than malignant melanoma, MCC has a dramatically higher mortality rate than melanoma rendering MCC to ...

European Clinical trials in Rare Sarcomas within an integrated translational trial network (EUROSARC)
Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2016,
Sarcomas are rare malignant tumors, with an overall incidence of 6/105/year. Bone and soft tissue connective tissue tumours encompass more than 50 different rare histotypes and more than 150 different molecular subtypes. The incidence of individual rare sarcomas subtypes is often less than 0.5/105/year. Given sarcoma rarity as a group, but even more as individual entities, few prospective clinical ...

The mechanisms of cardiovascular risks after low radiation doses (CARDIORISK)
Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2011,
"Recent epidemiologic evidence suggests that moderate and low radiation doses to the heart may result in a moderate, but significant increase in cardiovascular mortality. So far, the pathogenesis of radiation induced heart disease has not been studied in detail. Pathohistologic studies suggest that microvascular damage plays a crucial role in the development of radiation induced cardiovascular dis ...
