[PROJECT] EUROCANPLATFORM - A European Platform for Translational Cancer Research
ID: 260791
Start date: 2011-01-01, End date: 2016-12-31
Europe has a number of advantages as regards developing translational cancer research, yet there is no clear European strategy to meet the increasing burden posed by cancer. The FP6 Eurocan+Plus project analysed the barriers underlying the increasing fragmentation of cancer r...

[PROJECT] TELOSENS - Telomeres and radiosensitivity of individuals
ID: FIGH-CT-2002-00217
Start date: 2003-01-01, End date: 2005-12-31
Risk estimate of radiation-induced cancer in human population is based on epidemiological data. Most extrapolations are limited by the lack of understanding of the mechanisms responsible for radiation carcinogenesis. The acquisition of knowledge on common genetic factors that ...

[PROJECT] NON-DSB LESIONS - Radiation specific DNA non-double strand break lesions: repair mechanisms and biological effects
ID: FIGH-CT-2002-00207
Start date: 2003-01-01, End date: 2004-12-31
Ionising radiation induces a plethora of DNA non-double strand break lesions such as oxidised bases, a basic sites and single strand breaks. Strong evidence exists that ionising radiation induces, besides isolated DNA lesions; a unique form o f DNA damage termed clustered dama...

[PROJECT] GENEPI - ENTB - Genetic pathways for the prediction of the effects of irradiation - European normal and tumour tissue bank
ID: FIR1-CT-2002-20213
Start date: 2002-11-01, End date: 2005-10-31
In synergy with RTD Project GENEPI 1, a tissue bank, including lymphocytes and skin biopsies and a database will be created as essential infrastructure for present and future genetic research in the field of radiation protection and health. From normal tissues obtained from up...

[PROJECT] GENRAD-T - Genetics of predisposition to radiation-induced cancer of the thyroid
ID: FIGH-CT-2002-00208
Start date: 2002-11-01, End date: 2005-04-30
Carcinoma of the thyroid is a serious public health problem in populations at risk of exposure to radio nuclides accumulating in thyroid tissue. However, due to genetically determined differences in individual susceptibility to ionising radiation, simple dose-response relation...

[PROJECT] RADON EPIDEMIOLOGY - Study of lung cancer risk and residential radon exposure
ID: FIGH-CT-1999-00008
Start date: 2000-03-01, End date: 2005-02-28
Epidemiological studies of underground miners have shown that exposure to radon and radon progeny increases the risk of lung cancer. However, there are uncertainties in using these data to estimate the risk associated with radon exposure in dwellings. In contrast, information ...

[PROJECT] UMINERS + ANIMAL DAT - Quantification of lung cancer risk after low radon exposure and low exposure rate: synthesis from epidemiologic and experimental data
ID: FIGH-CT-1999-00013
Start date: 2000-02-01, End date: 2003-08-01
Occupational exposure to radon in European uranium mines during the last 30 years was at low annual rate; follow-up of 10 000 miners over more than 20 years made it possible to organise a joint analysis. This joint study has a good statistical power, able to detect lom lung ca...

[PROJECT] RAD PROT FUNDAMENTAL - Development of fundamental data and recommendations for radiological protection
ID: FIR1-CT-1999-40002
Start date: 2000-03-01, End date: 2003-08-31
The primary objective of this concerted action is to provide scientifically based ICRP recommendations leading to an appropriate standard of radiological protection, without unduly limiting beneficial practices.
The concerted action will consider the risk of induction of ca...

[PROJECT] LOWDOSERISK - International collaborative study of cancer risk among radiation workers in the nuclear industry
ID: FIGH-CT-1999-20001
Start date: 2002-08-01, End date: 2005-01-31
Radiation protection standards are mainly based on the follow-up of atomic bomb survivors and medically irradiated persons. The use of these data to predict cancer risk from protracted low doses involves uncertain extrapolations. Occupational cohort studies, such as the Intern...
