(CEDIC)

Cancer Research Center of Excellence

The CEDIC is dedicated to research and training in the prevention, early detection and control of cancer. It is a joint project of the Institute of Clinical and Health Effectiveness (IECS), the Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia in Lima, Peru, and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, United States. It was born in 2010 as a result of a call from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) of the United States, part of the National Institutes of Health of the United States (NIH).
