This network will span multiple disciplines and utilise their expertise to address research questions in a coordinated way. The network will have mechanisms for sharing of resources and platforms (knowledge, talent, tools, technologies, etc.) across the team including existing platforms and resources as well as those to be developed, incorporating new methods and technologies into the research groups, and training and networking across the network.
Mechanisms to foster collaborations within and among the network will be employed, an approach that promotes the sharing of information and a goal-oriented focus on measurable milestones of progress. AllCaN Oesophageal will establish the first national network bringing together scientific, clinical and industry teams with decades of collective experience in Barrett’s Oesophagus (BO) and Oesophageal Cancer (OC).
AllCaN Oesophageal will combine interdisciplinary approaches and world-renowned resources to address major health problems on the island of Ireland in Oesophageal Cancer.
By combining data and resources across Ireland, AllCaN Oesophageal will uniquely identify appropriate prevention strategies, lifestyle interventions and novel diagnostic platforms and therapeutics through enhanced understanding of the BO-OAC progression. Importantly, early detection will lead to better survival outcomes for patients.
