Neuro-oncology
Coordinated by Pr.Marc Sanson
Brain cancers are the 1st cause of cancer death before the age of 35. Because of their rarity, their great heterogeneity and their frequent resistance to conventional treatments, they remain poorly known.
The main objectives of this programme are to :
- Better understand functional genomics and the role of the tumor microenvironment
- Improving diagnosis through innovative and/or non-invasive approaches
- To develop personalized therapies and improve the quality of life of patients.
