Cancer research center to open in Brno

A new center devoted to cancer research will open within the oncology department of Brno’s Masaryk hospital. The cost for the new research center will amount to about 330 million Czech crowns, a third of that will go into renovating the space where it will be located, a spokesman for the hospital said on Tuesday. The project is financed by EU funds. It will focus on researching various types of cancer such as breast cancer, skin cancer and intestinal cancer and will seek to develop new forms of treatment that are tailor-made for individual patients.
