Cancer Moonshot- the largest ever international cancer project

The Swedish Pharmaceutical Society supports The Cancer Moonshot team in Lund. Lund is participating in a cooperation with more than ten countries that also involves the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in the USA. More than 75,000 patients encompassing the 15 most common cancer types will be included in this largest ever international cancer project. The purpose is to create an open database to include all types of information, e.g., personal patient information (gender, age), clinical data (results of blood samples, tissue analysis), genetic information (previous illness of relatives) etc. The main objective of the Cancer Moonshot team in Lund is to identify important diagnostic proteins that are specifically related to melanoma. The work also focuses on understanding the correlations between these proteins and the mechanisms regulated thereof.
