European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer  |
Last Update: 2008/11/2 8:44 |
Description:
The aims of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) are to develop, conduct, coordinate, and stimulate translational and clinical research in Europe to improve the management of cancer and related problems by increasing survival but also patient quality of life. Extensive and comprehensive research in this wide field is often beyond the means of individual European hospitals, and can best be accomplished through the multidisciplinary multinational efforts of basic scientists and clinicians.
Over the past few years, numerous innovative agents have been discovered as a result of tremendous developments in the understanding of the molecular basis of cancer. Further clinical progress in cancer treatment will be accomplished mainly through the conduct of translational research projects, efficient drug development and the execution of large, prospective, randomised, multicenter cancer clinical trials. The EORTC promotes multidisciplinary cancer research in Europe and is linked to other leading biomedical research organisations around the world.
The aim of the EORTC is to facilitate the passage of experimental discoveries into state-of-the-art treatments by keeping to a minimum the time lapse between the discovery of new anti-cancer agents and the implementation of their therapeutic benefit for patients with cancer.
The ultimate goal of the EORTC is to improve the standards of cancer treatment in Europe, through the evaluation of innovative drugs and new regimens, and to establish more effective therapeutic strategies, using drugs already commercially available, or surgery and radiotherapy.

Oncology Nursing society  |
Last Update: 2008/11/2 8:38 |
Description:
The Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) is a professional organization of over 35,000 registered nurses and other healthcare providers dedicated to excellence in patient care, education, research, and administration in oncology nursing. It's also the largest professional oncology association in the world.
ONS traces its origin to the first National Cancer Nursing Research Conference, supported by the American Nurses Association and the American Cancer Society (ACS) in 1973. Following this conference, a small group of oncology nurses met to discuss the need for a national organization to support their profession. Since its official incorporation in 1975, ONS has become a leader in cancer care. It has grown to include 224 chapters and 30 special interest groups. It provides information and education to nurses around the world. In addition, the Society plays an active role in advocacy activities at the local, state, national, and international levels. The achievement of the Society's vision and mission is predicated on a belief in six core values.
ONS members are a diverse group of professionals who represent a variety of professional roles, practice settings, and subspecialty practice areas. Registered nurses, including staff nurses, advanced practice nurses, case managers, educators, researchers, and consultants, and other healthcare professionals, benefit from membership. The Society offers useful information and opportunities for nurses at all levels, in all practice settings, and in all subspecialties.

American College of Radiology  |
Last Update: 2008/11/2 8:37 |
Description:
The 32,000 members of the American College of Radiology include radiologists, radiation oncologists, medical physicists, interventional radiologists and nuclear medicine physicians. For over three quarters of a century, the ACR has devoted its resources to making imaging safe, effective and accessible to those who need it.
The mission of the ACR is to serve patients and society by maximizing the value of radiology, radiation oncology, interventional radiology, nuclear medicine and medical physics by advancing the science of radiology, improving the quality of patient care, positively influencing the socio-economics of the practice of radiology, providing continuing education for radiology and allied health professions and conducting research for the future of radiology.
