75.000 new cases per year in Belgium

Research on the genetics of cancer is offering new hopes for therapies as the number of cancer cases is expected to skyrocket by 2050. It is crucial to trace back to the source of each cancer in order to better combat the disease. With 75,000 new cases per year in Belgium alone, the need for effective treatments and prevention strategies is more urgent than ever.

New insights for better treatment

Understanding the genetic makeup of different types of cancer is key to developing targeted therapies that can improve outcomes for patients. By delving into the genetic mutations that drive cancer growth, researchers are uncovering new possibilities for treatment that could revolutionize the way we approach cancer care in the future.
