Why it matters?

The introduction of immunotherapeutic drugs for the treatment of cancer and inflammatory disease, where the drugs encourage the body’s own immune system to attack the disease, have had a significant impact. However, immunotherapies do not work for all patients. Immune-Image Project will develop methods to visualize and study the immune cells involved before, during, and after such treatments allowing selection of the right treatment for the right patient and at the right time. The information obtained about the immune cells and their activity during disease could be used to develop new drugs that might help those patients for which current immunotherapies are ineffective.

What ECPC does

ECPC supports communication and dissemination of the Immuno-Image project’s outcomes towards cancer patients and cancer organisations during the duration of the whole project.  This involves conveying information about the trials to confirm safety and to evaluate the clinical potential of novel immunotracers to ECPC cancer patient community and other relevant European patient organisations. ECPC involves multiple patient organisations who would benefit from the project outcomes.
