European Cancer Summit 2024

GLIOMATCH was featured at the European Cancer Summit 2024, held on 20–21 November in Brussels and online. We’re proud to support Europe’s fight against cancer by equipping clinicians with tools to match patients to the best immunotherapies and track treatment progress.

GLIOMATCH was featured at the European Cancer Summit as part of the Horizon Europe initiative, recognising its role in advancing the EU Mission on Cancer. Horizon Europe, with a €95.5 billion budget for 2021–2027, demonstrates the EU’s commitment to cancer research, including the Cancer Mission, which aims to improve the lives of 3 million people by 2030 through better prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and support for patients and families. GLIOMATCH is part of the Understanding (tumour-host) Interaction Cluster alongside other projects such as ARTURO, HIT-GLIO, MULTIR, THRIVE, and SPACETIME. These projects collaborate to identify common challenges, share best practices, and maximise the impact of their research efforts. 

Follow GLIOMATCH on LinkedIn and Facebook for more information on brain tumour research and updates on our milestones towards improving the clinical outcomes of GBM and pHGG.

On International Childhood Cancer Day, GLIOMATCH highlights the urgent need for research into paediatric high-grade gliomas (pHGGs), rare and aggressive brain tumours affecting children. With a median survival of just over one year and no curative treatment available, collaborative research efforts are essential to better understand the disease, develop dedicated models, and tailor therapies that improve outcomes and quality of life for young patients and their families.
