Mission Statement

European cancer research is of a very high quality but is fragmented, un-coordinated and slow in translating benefits to patients. Cancer care delivery is also excellent in some European countries but by no means all. If state of the art treatment was available to all cancer patients, the World Health Organisation has estimated that over 20,000 lives would be saved annually.

''e''cancer aims to improve communications between sub-specialised cancer scientists and clinicians by working interactively and faster - offering authors a rapid peer review process. ''e''cancer actively encourages the communities of sub-specialised scientists and cancer carers to exchange ideas and research, speeding up the time it takes from discovery, to patient benefit. ^[4]

European Projects

''e''cancer is also a part of a growing number of projects within Europe ^[8]^[9] ^[10]

P-Med

A recent movement within the medical community has been the idea of [personalized medicine], the concept that each patients treatment and disease are entirely different from that of any others. ^[11]

P-Med is “building a data warehouse for the secure storage and sharing of heterogeneous data to be used by the scientific community”. ^[12]

By imputing data about each patient a network in a VPH, Virtual Physiological Human, model, and doctors will be able to better predict the best course of treatment and the outcome of a patient’s treatment. The main objectives, as listed on the P-Med site are “linking the p-medicine environment with important European Research infrastructure initiatives, developing training and educational eLearning tools for end-users to foster VPH models for decision support.” ^[13]

Eurocancercoms

Eurocancercoms is a two year European project that is developing an “open source multi-lingual platform which will integrate existing content – Word/PDF documents; multi-media streaming; podcasts, etc. The aim is to promote those providers of high quality, trustworthy content that already exists on the internet. We will also develop new tools and ways of visualising and personalising the myriad of information on cancer for the broad community.” ^[14]

Eurocans Platform

A five year project that will create an extensive search engine for medical journals, articles, patient data, and a social network dedicated specifically to the cancer community. The Eurocan Platform is the first network to create and dedicated a network to a specific field ^[15]
