Together against digestive cancers !

The A.R.CA.D Foundation, Aid and Research in Digestive Cancerology, is the only one in France that is exclusively dedicated to digestive cancers and recognized as public utility. Our actions focus on patients, their caregivers and healthcare professionals to improve the care pathway.

Shortly after its creation in 2006, the Foundation was pioneer in collecting data from clinical trials carried out in colorectal, pancreatic and liver cancers. The objective of these international databases is to improve the methodology for clinical trials and overall knowledge of digestive cancers.

All publications from the databases are available here.

Three biostatistics centers – each located in three different continents – manage the databases:

• Mayo Clinic (United States): colorectal
• National Cancer Center Hospital East (Japan): gastric (under construction)
• Besançon University Hospital (France): pancreas and LiverMetSurvey

Experts from health centers across the world, whether private or public, can get involved in the development of these databases. Please click below for more information on each database and to get in touch.
