Krebsforschung Schweiz is a foundation that coordinates clinical trials and research projects across medical institutions throughout Switzerland to advance cancer treatments. It works with various medical facilities and supports projects focused on prevention, diagnosis, and innovative therapy methods.
The organization was founded in 1990 and has since built a strong network to support cancer research across Switzerland. Its work has expanded continuously, now covering support for scientists, medical professionals, and patients involved in various research areas.
The foundation hosts conferences and training programs that bring together researchers, medical professionals, and patients within the Swiss cancer research community. These gatherings provide opportunities to share experiences and learn about recent developments in treatment approaches.
