Twinning for the Armenian Research Infrastructure on Cancer Research (ARICE)

ARICE aims to increase the research infrastructure capacities in the field of cancer research in Armenia, through integrating a robust pathology and genomic background with state-of-the-art biobanking to a research-ready data structure. This will be achieved by establishing close cooperation with the leading expert-institutions in the field (Medical University Graz, Charles University and IARC-WHO) as well as by facilitating spread of the competences at institutional, national and regional levels.

🔊 WHO-IAEA-IARC Annual Meeting - joint work to support countries to fight cancer

📌 The meeting was an important occasion to take stock of the joint work within UN and to envision a stronger future together.
✍ "As individual agencies, WHO, IAEA and IARC have achieved significant milestones in the past decade. At WHO, we have expanded our country support strategies to deliver concrete results in more than 75 countries. That is an increase from only 10 countries in 2015.
We have developed tools to support countries formulate cancer policies, scale-up cancer programmes, generate investment cases and strengthen workforce capacity.
This has been rooted in our three WHO cancer initiatives and the strong mandate Member States have provided to increase our focus on noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) including cancer.
The next chapter must ensure a shared strategic agenda and to provide coordinated support to governments together.
I want to highlight three important guiding principles toward shared impact.
➡ First, we must improve coordination in country support though structured, country-led dialogues. Our Member States should see our work as integrated and coordinated. We cannot present governments vertical initiatives.
➡Second, we should better align our capacity building activities to ensure they are evidence-based, sustainable and impactful. We must focus on sustained engagement.
➡Finally, we will work together for a monitoring framework that shares best practices, promotes research and enhances accountability. Data will drive progress. And, we must invest in data systems that are country-owned and country-driven. Together, we work towards a brighter future for global cancer control.", Bente Mikkelsen, Director of NCD Department told.

🔊 Researchers from IARC - International Agency for Research on Cancer / World Health Organization and Hubrecht Institute, Developmental Biology and Stem Cell Research have created “mini-tumors” of a rare cancer that affects neuroendocrine cells.
🔬They are a powerful tool to investigate how cancer develops in these cells, and how it may be managed in the clinic.

📌 61-year-old Jennifer Schmid's experience with pancreatic cancer underscores the transformative power of the Pancreatic Cancer Multidisciplinary Clinic and Precision Medicine Program at Cedars-Sinai.
✍ When confronted with her challenging diagnosis, Jennifer found a beacon of hope and comprehensive care in a single-day visit. Arsen Osipov, MD, gastrointestinal oncologist at Cedars-Sinai, YSMU ARICE program partner; and his dedicated team provided her with a precise diagnosis, a tailored treatment plan, and immediate access to clinical trials.
“We thought she had metastatic pancreatic cancer, which has a very poor prognosis. But through our multidisciplinary review and genetic sequencing of her pancreatic tumor and the spot on her lung, we discovered she actually had two separate cancers.” Arsen Osipov, program lead for the multidisciplinary clinic and precision medicine program said.
🎗Still in the early stages, both cancers were treated successfully. Today, Schmid is cancer-free. Her story reflects the profound impact that personalized and expedient care can have on a patient's life.
