RakFond/RUSSCO: Promotion of Clinical Trials in Oncology
Clinical trials are the main instrument to acquire knowledge about the efficiency and safety of new types of treatment, prevention, and diagnostics of diseases for their introduction into the medical practice. How fast is the progress in clinical trials in oncology in Russia and worldwide? Who conducts those trials and how easy is it to launch an own trial? What are the barriers and how can one support research in oncology nowadays? These and many other topics will be discussed on November 13th during a joint RakFond and the Russian Society for Clinical Oncology (RUSSCO) session, which will be held during the XXII RUSSIAN ONCOLOGICAL CONGRESS and devoted to the promotion of clinical trials in oncology.
