Integrative multinational research collaboration
Addressing technical, clinical, psychological, social, and ethical challenges in genetic testing and care of pediatric cancer.
Mission
The purpose of the network is to advance collaboration and research on childhood cancer predispositions in a way that will benefit patients and families. We aim to improve and standardize testing and care amongst Nordic countries as well as together with our global partners.
This international and interdisciplinary collaboration aims to advance the assessment of genetic variants, design of surveillance guidelines, research on pharmacogenetics, genetic counseling, psychosocial evaluation, and help clinicians to better meet individual needs.
