And despite the major progress being made in their treatment, there is still a huge need for research to, on the one hand, make it possible to diagnose these diseases more effectively and at an earlier stage and, on the other, minimize the consequences for those affected, develop innovative therapies and thus improve patients’ quality of life and prolong their survival. » more
