The DECODE VRL study is led by an interdisciplinary team of leading experts from ophthalmology, pathology, oncology and molecular biology. Our work is supported by Deutsche Krebshilfe and is based on cutting-edge science, collaboration and tireless efforts to improve patient care.
Deutsche Krebshilfe (German Cancer Aid) plays a decisive role in funding the DECODE VRL study. It has been working for years to improve diagnosis and treatment options for cancer and provides the financial resources to achieve the ambitious goals of this study.
The support from Deutsche Krebshilfe highlights the social relevance of the DECODE VRL study and its potential to fundamentally transform cancer diagnostics.
