Cancéropôle Île-de-France represents a unique and novel opportunity to bring together cancer research across all disciplines. This significant effort is for the benefit of cancer sufferers:

• effort on the part of researchers and clinicians who are asked to propose ambitious and innovative projects,
• effort on the part of bodies that must coordinate with one another and reach beyond institutional cultures,
• effort on the part of politicians who provide its actors with the necessary means.

The Cancéropôle Île-de-France structure has already enabled the emergence of projects that are remarkable as much for their scientific content as for the establishment of an exceptional research network in the field of cancer in the Ile-de-France region.
