DCCC - Danish Comprehensive Cancer Center Information

DCCC - Danish Comprehensive Cancer Center er det nationale forpligtende samarbejde om forskning og udvikling af kræftområdet. Vores vision er, at alle danske kræftpatienter skal have adgang til den bedste og forskningsbaserede diagnostik, behandling og opfølgning. Vi blev etableret i 2017 af Sundheds- og Ældreministeriet og Danske Regioner, som en del af kræftplan IV `Styrket indsats på kræftområdet – patienternes kræftplan' med en stående bevilling på finansloven. The purpose of DCCC is to create optimal conditions for Danish cancer research by promoting cooperation and coordination of cancer research as well as increasing access to international funding and partnerships. In addition, the centre helps spread new knowledge and new treatment methods faster and more systematically across the country, thus shortening the path from research to clinical practice. Thereby, DCCC contributes to optimise cancer treatment in Denmark. DCCC gathers management and professional capacities within cancer and healthcare in Denmark in a national centre for cancer research and treatment and is organised with a Governance Board, a Steering Committee and a Scientific Council. The national Secretariat for DCCC is located in Aarhus.
