Our teams: EPICEA
I am a researcher in the EPICEA team at CRESS (UMR1153) and carry out research work on the epidemiology of childhood and adolescent cancers. I manage the National Registry of Childhood Solid Tumors (RNTSE) based in Nancy and I am more involved in work on solid tumors, and in particular brain tumors, as well as descriptive epidemiology. I am also co-responsible for the Childhood Cancer Observation Platform, with a focus on healthcare trajectories and long-term follow-up (COHOPER Cohort). I also participate in some of working groups on the incidence (IARC) and survival of children with cancer (EUROCARE, CONCORD)
