Obiettivo Cancer is 2nd only to heart disease as cause of death. Along with life expectancy cancer incidence is still going up. Long-term strategies for providing adequate care to the EU citizens are needed. Together with surgery, radiotherapy (RT) remains the most effective instrument for local control of tumours. Non-invasive, organ function and limb preserving, it is the curative treatment of choice for many tumour types and a cheap & highly effective option for palliation & symptom control. QUARTS aims at providing health care authorities with objective criteria for its infrastructure & staffing needs for RT. A quantitative analysis of demands on staff and infrastructure per tumour site & type and of a population- based hierarchy of treatment facilities, adaptable to local epidemiology & staffing costs will assist in prioritising financial resources. An inventory of facilities, their geographic spread & existing national guidelines will be drafted Campo scientifico medical and health sciencesclinical medicinesurgerymedical and health scienceshealth sciencespublic healthepidemiologymedical and health sciencesclinical medicineoncology Programma(i) FP5-LIFE QUALITY - Specific Programme for research, technological development and demonstration on "Quality of life and management of living resources", 1998-2002 Argomento(i) 1.1.1.-7. - Chronic and degenerative diseases, cancer, diabetes, cardivascular diseases and rare diseases Invito a presentare proposte Data not available Meccanismo di finanziamento ACM - Preparatory, accompanying and support measures Coordinatore EUROPEAN SOCIETY FOR THERAPEUTIC RADIOLOGY AND ONCOLOGY Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo Av.
