Metastatic tumours facilitated by hypoxic tumour micro-environments (METOXIA)
Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Jul 31, 2014,
"Recent research suggests that the hypoxic micro-environment of tumours is one of the major drivers of metastatic spread of cancer. Furthermore, hypoxic tumour micro-environments may result in treatment resistance of cancer cells, therefore causing a double effect of reducing the potential of a successful treatment of the cancer patient. This project seeks to clarify the roles and functions of the ...

Molecular Dissection of Melanoma Progression: An integrated Pan-European Approach (Target-Melanoma)
Start date: Aug 1, 2009, End date: Jul 31, 2013,
Transformed melanocytes use several strategies to enable their progression to advanced melanoma and metastasis, including genetic and epigenetic alterations, along with disruptions to gene and protein expression. This consortium aims to identify novel biomarkers for predicting the progression and prognosis of melanoma. To achieve this, a concerted collaborative effort is proposed here between key ...

Early and late health risks to normal/healthy tissues from the use of existing and emerging techniques for radiation therapy (ALLEGRO)
Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Mar 31, 2011,
Curative cancer treatment with radiation seeks to optimise the magnitude of the radiation dose to the treatment volume while restricting the dose to normal healthy tissue. With an increasing population of surviving cancer patients treated with radiation therapy, the harmful effects of the radiation to normal tissue are becoming more evident. The ALLEGRO project will address the many aspects of n ...
