title: A new model for cancer research in France.
abstract: The new French National Cancer Institute is unique in Europe in that it associates all aspects of cancer care, research and patient advocacy in one single umbrella body. It brings together all sectors of the cancer field in a patient-centred, multidisciplinary approach to the disease. By facilitating national, European and international collaborations, it aims to attack the disease with a strong and united front.
