EORTC Affiliated Institutions and Departments 2009

The EORTC has established criteria to grant recognition to Institutions/Departments actively participating in EORTC clinical trials. This list of Institutions/Departments is updated on yearly basis. An institution can either be granted recognition as an 'EORTC Affiliated Institution' or as an 'EORTC Affiliated Department'.

The criteria used to merit that recognition are:

EORTC Affiliated Institution:

1. Recruitment of 75 patients over a period of three years with a minimum of 15 patients entered in EORTC clinical trials per year.

2. Participation in at least three EORTC Groups.

EORTC Affiliated Department:

1. Recruitment of 75 patients over a period of three years with a minimum of 15 patients entered in EORTC clinical trials per year.

2. Participation in less than three EORTC Groups.

Institutions that have been recognized as Affiliated institution / Department are allowed to apply for participation to any EORTC study without mandatory group affiliation. Their participation in a particular study requires however the approval of the Group Chairman and Study Coordinator.

 

In 2008, a total of 3264 new patients were entered in EORTC trials by group members.
An additional 1714 patients from other research groups were treated as part of the intergroup study scheme managed by the EORTC Headquarters.
