A group full of promise with about 450 doctors as members
who, for the past 8 years, through their clinical research efforts, have
been coming up with fundamentally new solutions to illnesses.
Message from the Chairman
As
we enter the third millenium, our society is more than ever confronted
with a scientific challenge such as we have never encountered: to conquer
cancer, which is the second biggest killer in France.
Because cancer is a major unresolved public health problem, we are all
affected by the response that attending physicians can contribute these
days.
Perceiving that therapeutic advances were moving too slowly, were too
fragmented, and that results were too scattered, in 1997 we created Gercor,
to offer other solutions to people affected by cancer.
In an effort to ensure that any patient has access to our treatments,
we have created a network that now counts about 450 attending physicians
in France and throughout the world, with a light, independent and dynamic
structure as its core, which is well suited for fulfilling our objectives.
Finally, we have created this website as an asset for physicians in their
practice and to provide a serious basis of information for patients and
their family.
