Abstract | |||
RTPEN will connect patients and investigators through shared infrastructure and networks, accelerate the understanding of rare tumors and develop clinical trials for rare tumors through these national and international collaborations of patients, advocates, clinicians, clinical and basic researchers, and other stakeholders. In the first year of this project, steps were taken to begin creating the infrastructure to support the network. Several key staff were brought on board and trained. The IT and bioinformatics support systems were designed and are being brought online. |
