Fondation Francophone de Cancérologie Digestive

The Fondation Francophone de Cancérologie Digestive (FFCD) is a prominent French academic research organization specializing in the field of digestive oncology. Established in 1980 and recognized as a public utility in 2011, the foundation is dedicated to improving the survival and quality of life for patients with gastrointestinal cancers. The FFCD coordinates a vast network of clinicians and researchers to design and conduct multicenter clinical trials, ranging from Phase 1 to Phase 3. It serves as a primary sponsor for innovative studies in colorectal, pancreatic, gastric, and hepatic cancers, often collaborating with the PRODIGE intergroup. Beyond clinical trials, the foundation provides administrative, legal, and statistical support for high-quality independent research. Its work is instrumental in validating new therapeutic strategies and establishing international standards of care for digestive malignancies.
