Expanding evidence-based cancer treatment options

Cancer treatment optionsExpanding evidence-based cancer treatment options

Reliable Cancer Therapies (RCT) is a non-profit organization providing research-based information on cancer therapies and selectively funding the development of promising therapies.

 

Welcome

RCT investigates the information on cancer therapies for evidence, so that evidence-based treatment choices can be made. We help patients to structure and absorb the complex nature of the information on registered, complementary or alternative therapies.

RCT is continuously looking for cancer therapies that have never been thoroughly examined and might finance the treatments that can be deemed promising based on measurable results.

The RCT website provides the same research-based information in an adapted language for patients and their relatives, and for professionals so that it can be used to discuss treatment options. The RCT team is independent and open-minded, is supported by a high level advisory board, is collaborating with international organizations (ESMO, CAM-CANCER) and consults reliable sources (NCI, MSKcc, NS, a.o.). RCT does not provide medical advice and our website does not replace a medical consultation.

In the spotlight

FLUVABREX, a phase I study assessing the safety of the association of fluvastatin in addition to celecoxib in children with refractory optic-pathway glioma

Optic-pathway gliomas are rare tumors accounting for 1 to 5% of all brain tumors in children. The current treatment strategy in children with optic glioma symptoms is chemotherapy to postpone radiotherapy on the developing brain of a child as much as possible.
In this Phase I study, the safety of a combination of the 2 drugs celecoxib and fluvastatin in children with optic-pathway gliomas will be verified.

RCT news

RCT supports the ‘Fluvabrex’ and ‘Ketorolac’ trials

Reliable Cancer Therapies has decided to financially support the research of two promising cancer treatments, Fluvabrex and Ketorolac. What is particularly interesting about these studies, is the fact that both Fluvabrex and Ketorolac are already approved and are used in hospitals for other indications than cancer.
