Our mission is to get cancer under control. We are the closest link between scientists, doctors, nurses, caretakes, educators and patients.
Read all about our scientific vision and our vision on the Inspire2Live World Campus:
We have created a collection of topics ranging from agency and epidemiology of cancer to the creation of cancer registries, rehabilitation and more. Most materials you find here are peer reviewed. This will be clearly indicated.
Our list of topics is still expanding. Over time all topics will consist of a lecture, a crash course and short opinion videos.
