Overview

TCTC

1. Urothelial carcinoma (UC) and prostate cancer (PC) are the most common malignancy of the urinary system. The incidence is rising gradually due to the growing number of elderly people. The upper tract UC (UTUC) arising from renal pelvis and ureter accounts for only 5~10% of all UCs; however, the incidence of UTUC markedly increases to 40% of the UCs in Taiwan.

2. Assist pharmaceutical company to conduct clinical trial of new drug.

3. Conduct PI-initiated clinical trial.

4. Participate in international multi-center institution clinical trial.

5. Through TCTCGU, propose clinical trial to pharmaceutical company

6. Identify new biomarkers of UC and PC

7. Assist patients to find proper therapy strategy
