MRC CTU Trials at the 2011 European Multidisciplinary Cancer Congress, Stockholm

19 Jun 2014

The European Multidisciplinary Cancer Congress is the biggest cancer conference in Europe each year. From 23 to 27 September this year Stockholm plays host to the conference which draws together the European CanCer Organisation (ECCO), the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), and The European SocieTy for Radiology and Oncology (ESTRO) to make a strongly multi-disciplinary and multi-professional affair.

The MRC CTU typically has several presentations at the Congress and this year has a number of oral presentations and poster presentations, including late-breaking abstracts presenting results from major clinical trials.

The studies being presented are given below. Clinical trials are collaborative and we would like to thank all the patients, clinicians and research staff who contributed to these studies.
