Research driving innovation: what are key factors for successful integration of translational science into oncology care concepts? 5th European roundtable meeting (ERTM) May 4th, 2018, Berlin, Germany

Abstract

PURPOSE: To identify key factors for successful integration of translational science into cancer care. RESULTS: Organisation of the health care system matters to optimally bridge between public and private cancer research, cancer registries and routine care. Currently, there are deficits on various levels of connectivity. These hamper rapid and optimal transfer of innovation. CONCLUSION: To overcome the deficits, strategies of data sharing and infrastructures allowing fast-track implementation of translational research findings into routine care need to be developed.
