The West of Scotland Cancer Forum (WoSCF) promotes and coordinates basic and clinical cancer research in and around Glasgow. It brings together the Universities and associated Institutes and Hospitals in the Glasgow area, and provides a framework for their cooperation in cancer-related research and teaching. A programme of seminars and meetings to foster multidisciplinary research and cancer-related teaching is organised by the Forum and it encourages cooperation and collaboration through Special Interest Groups which focus on shared areas of research and therapy. The Forum also attracts funding for both clinical and basic research and for studentships. The WoSCF provides both a website, 'West of Scotland Cancer Forum' and a newsletter, 'Cancer Forum News' for communication between researchers, educators and carers, in the field of cancer. There are articles on, and links to the research, publications and successes of members of the Forum along with news of forthcoming workshops and meetings. Publications are linked through the website to Entrez-PubMed to give access to abstracts and when available, the original articles. |
