The majority of patients do not get proper medication or surgical and radiation treatment.
Similar problems exist in performing diagnostical tests.
Most of these tests describe the current health status of a patient, but fail to provide specific information required about the prognosis and suggested methods of treatment. This leads to a great need of describing cancer diagnoses at the molecular genetic level that should lead to making individualised prognostic and treatment decisions. Main Objectives of the Project 1. The compilation of a database and a tissue bank on the basis of the Estonian population within the period of 7 years, which contains information about phenotype, genealogy, detailed diagnosis, prognosis and clinical progression of the disease, treatment and genetic markers of the patients with malignant tumours. The database enabling the correlation of all the data entered should correspond to the requirements of personal data protection.
