• public health research coupled with education aiming<br />
to understand the determinants of medical<br />
practice in order to propose innovative education<br />
strategies to improve patient management and follow<br />
up. Knowledge gained in this fi eld will be<br />
disseminated within the network and beyond by the<br />
key opinion leaders present in the network in their<br />
respective countries.<br />
Once these goals are achieved for sarcomas, GIST, aggressive<br />
fi bromatosis and hamartomas, the consortium will<br />
choose other types of uncommon connective tissue tumours<br />
(primary CNS tumours, mesotheliomas) and ultimately aim<br />
at contributing to integrated research in the fi eld of uncommon<br />
epithelial cancers (neuroendocrine cancers, adenoid<br />
cystic carcinomas). Thus the CONTICANET network is expected<br />
to develop on the long term a stable structured European<br />
research organisation on uncommon cancers and could<br />
possibly serve as a model for other rare diseases.<br />
