About The Cancer Chemotherapy Center｜The Cancer Chemotherapy Center Of JFCR

Outline

The Cancer Chemotherapy Center aims at implementation of basic and clinical research on cancer chemotherapy forwarding to innovation of the better anti-cancer drugs and also to development of new cancer therapy. Under these flags, we are concentrating on the basic cancer biology and new anti-cancer drug development with full use of advanced information and technologies. Practical topics are:

Basic research on identification of molecular targets unique to cancer cells and the elucidation of their molecular mechanisms,
Identification and development of compounds or biologics targeting the molecules identified in basic research,
And carrying translation research for clinical development intimately collaborating with clinical study group in Cancer Institute and Cancer Institute Hospital.
Furthermore, as an only one Japanese organization devoting exclusively for cancer chemotherapy, we are playing roles in supporting the promotion of Japanese activities in cancer chemotherapy and also its globalization through organizing “JFCR-International Symposium on Cancer Chemotherapy” and “The Anti-Tumor Drug Development Forum” periodically. Operational support for “The Japanese Association for Molecular Target Therapy of Cancer” is also one of our roles.
