DSEE-CRC is a top-tier Norwegian and Swedish public-private partnership for the development of µCAN, a unique patient-centric, therapy-guiding in vitro diagnostic test to improve cancer treatment outcomes for metastatic colorectal cancer patients. µCAN takes a cancer biopsy sample as input and combines proprietary patient-derived tumoroid culturing conditions with state of-the-art machine learning, and computer-vision guided fluorescence high- content drug screening and analysis, to identify the best therapeutical approach for clinical practice. DSEE-CRC will have a positive societal and financial impact and directly contributes to the Good Health and Well-being Sustainable Development Goals by delivering patient-tailored treatments, concurrently increasing cancer survivability rates, improving patients' quality of care, and reducing cancer treatment costs for healthcare providers.
